Hey Listmembers, where's the difficulty in finding a nice MASI twin plate bike? I mean, REALLY ??
Piece of cake !! You can find something at the bottom of a stream, send it to Brian, wait umpteen weeks/months, and you'll get back a work of art with perfect art !!!
But, to find a production bike, an ORIGINAL FRENCH production bike, with basically perfect brazing and paint, NOW THERE IS A CHALLENGE !!
In my opinion, the buyer is getting a bargain at $1425... :-) :-) I have seen carbon steel emerald green ~1973 Raleigh Grand Prix's go for ~$350 when the paint was original and the brazing was nice ...
