Is it against the rules to "attaboy" the List Manager? One hopes not for it's worth stating that if everyone selling a bicycle, whole or frame, would emulate this listing (and indeed the other one for the Frejus) in terms of its 1) presentation, 2) photos, 3) comprehensive description of components, 4) complete measurements and 5) accuracy of description, this hobby would be immeasurably aided and rewarded. Indeed, Dale should sell us the "template" for this for both selling and also listing our collections.

Very impressive.

But not nearly as intriguing as the average CraigsList posting for a bicycle: "Old race bike, two wheels, $550". It's that extra wheel that makes it all worth it, is it not?
