Subject: [CR]FOR SALE! BATES VOLANTE #1 RON COOPER

I bought this frameset from Mike Kone. He had it displayed at the year 2000 or 2001 interbike show. It is the first Bates Volante built by Ron Cooper. That's what I think anyway . Serial number is # 1 VO MM RC, the size is 58 c-c seat tube and 57 c-c top tube. The Volante is Bates top of the line bike. Cantiflex tubes and Diadant fork. Frame is new and never built. Candy Red with White panels.It does have some minor scratches on the right chainstay that can be covered up with a chainstay protector. I believe the New price for the frameset from Martin Cooplin/ Ron Cooper would be in the $2,300 range. I'm willing to part with this for considerably less $750, because I need the money. I'll box it and you pay shipping. Pictures available. Beautiful bike. Sorry I never got a chance to ride it.
