Hi everyone,

For sale content first, delurking below.

I'm offering up an EG Bates frame and fork that was purchased from a fellow listmember almost exactly a year ago. Seat tube is 60cm and top tube is 59cm; the frame is bare. It has Nervex Pro lugs with some extra ornate bits on the seat stays; estimated to be from the 1960's. Photos are up at http://www.people.hbs.edu/pkuliesis/bates/. Apologies for the poor quality -- I'm a terrible photographer.

I'm asking what I paid, $120 plus actual shipping from Cambridge, MA 02139. If you're in the Boston area, delivery or pick-up is no problem. I bought this as my first big project and I think my eyes were a little larger than my stomach (and I could use the money for other, smaller projects.)

I've been lurking on the list for about a year and a half. I discovered it in the course of researching a replacement for the only bike I owned. It's turned a latent interest into a mild obsession. Everything I presently ride is KOF, but I'm always on the lookout for a vintage bargain.

Best,
