You're right, this guy seems pretty confused in general. Plus everything is "now very rare and collectible". No doubt he would describe a Raleigh Grand Prix as such. Wonder if his late Father's "extensive collection" includes any bikes that don't have trashed paint.

Wonder how he knows it is Tange butted tubing? If that is true, and if it really is more than 45 years old, I would think it would have to be a Japanese-built frame. I can't imagine a European, British or American tandem builder using Tange tubing in 1961 or earlier. I don't even know if Tange was making butted bicycle tubing in 1961, although it wouldn't surprise me if they were.
