It seems like hyperbole but on the other hand, his descriptions are sparse at best. Mike is definitely not an individual who uses excess words or hype and I suspect this is a newbie auction slipup.He's been an ebay member for over 3 years, has more bikes and parts than many serious collectors and yet has only bought or sold 8 items.
His restorations are magnificent as well as his "constructeur" style Mariposa bikes.
