Might be a very neat track bike as Mike pointed out, but at $167 a month at most likely 18% interest, the buyer would be paying for it until 2010. Wonder if anybody has emailed the seller and informed him of the fact he's way overpriced.
A few months back there was a nice, but just ordinary 70s or 80s Hetchins on Craigslist priced at about $2000 or probably much more, that I recall. I emailed the owner about his over pricing, He wrote back thanking me for my letter and repriced the bike, and I believe at sold very quickly after that.
