Sometime I think it is takes one who has owned his own
business to understand that what the market will bear is what the price should
be.
If your not one of the big dogs get off the porch and don,t bid.
As
for E-Ritchie's frame. Go get em' Ritchie and make as much MONEY as
you ca n. Isn't that what a free market is all about.
As for below
great com ments Tom and David. David I'm sure all the E-Sniper are already
tuned in!

Dan,=0 AThis
bike is a legend...it has been featured on many many websites
and articles. It
has been meticulously restored to as new perfection by the guy who
is pro bably the World's most respected bike builder. He has been
a mechanic on many highly ranked racing teams and has sponsored World
Champion Cyclocr oss racing teams for years. His credentials are as impeccable
as anyone
in the world today as far as bicycles are concerned. He is also
highly t rusted, liked and respected just because of the many positive
aspects of
his own personality, even without all this. His generosity is also
very
well known. I have talked to numerous folks who have seen this bike
and
its sister bike, both of which Richard owns. Read the bidding
history and you will see some of the very top and most knowledgeable collectors
in t he field. Perhaps you see some flaw in the bike, but this would
seem to
be an observation that these folks either do not see or hold to be
insign ificant. Might I suggest that perhaps you might not be really up on
what
the top tier of bikes like this are likely to fetch? I am sure I
have pa id more than the current $3,000 bid for lesser bikes and been darned
glad to get them. Perhaps more temperate phrases than "Overpriced" would
be a ppropriate when discussing such an item? Tom Sanders Lansing ,

And the real bidders won't even show up to
the e nd! What it is going for now has no relation in most cases to what
it wi ll actually fetch
