=0D =0D Ray, Let me clarify my position, it is an interesting bike, but I do not covet the bike either. (Just covet my beer) But would I& nbsp;buy it if the price was right? sure. If the bike is sold for res erve, the person buying the bike should not have any delusions of "flipping the deal" by parting it out and making a nice profit because the reserve i s just too high. (IMHO) =0D Do I think it will make reserve? A definite maybe. It has a shot because the cranks are in nice shape and you never know who wants or n eeds what out there. The bike has a certain charm to it. Would I drop a grand on that bike? NFW! I think if one pa rted it out, the cranks, rear derailleur and and wheels MIGHT fetch the res erve price and so what are you left over with? A damaged frame and st uff no one else may want.
