The auction for this ended with no bids a couple of days ago. I don't think there was a reserve. Now it's back with the same starting price and a reserve. This guy is an optimist. I must say I was tempted to buy it for $9.99. We could award it as a prize for "Best Death Bike" at the next Cirque.

Yes, that's me bidding! Don't all pile on to the auction. I need that cycle-logical edge that only these parts can inspire! After all, how else can one make a UO-8 competitive?

But seriously, don't worry, I'll retire that stem to the conversation-piece shelf--assuming I'm the high bidder. Too much higher and the bidder would probably have to be a "high" bidder! Now what can that reserve be?
