Hi Dale,

Its only speculation, but the lack of interest in the Alcyon "1930" may be due to the following:

1. Frame is not lugged, which I think deminishes from its appearance. 2. Powder blue paint job appears it could be a spray can job (from pics), and somehow does not seem to be a '30s period color. If the color of a bike is not balanced with the parts (plays too big a role), it can distract from the appearance, I believe.

3. Fork does not seem to be 30's period. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe forks had considerable rake back then, up through the 60's. Fork appears to be a 70's/80's fork? 4. Components appear to be a mixture of 50's and 60's period, while the stated age of bike is 30's? So where are the '30s parts. I may be wrong about this.

All in all, these factors together certainly might discourage a CR enthusiest, as well as folks who might want a beautiful old bike.
