Hi John!
I was the original post with the "surprised" comment and from my sampling of the mid 70's examples that I've seen on the market, the auction frameset sold extraordinarily high. Not so long ago I was offered an entire bike with a similar frameset for $1500 but I passed on it as I was looking for something older.
