Pretty bike! Lucky for me, or unlucky for me, I really can't drop $700 on anything right now, as I've always found the International a lovely bike.
Funny though... the ad says it's all original, but then says it has Weinmann 500 brakes, which as I recall are sidepulls... while Internationals had centerpulls... and the picture sure looks like sidepulls, with the cable bypassing the rear cable housing stop. Hmmmm...
Somebody snatch this up before I get stupid.
