Coolio's,

I think Mark Agree needs to up his home contents insurance policy big time !!!!

I agree with Don Gillies and think the "crazy high price" isn't that crazy. Yes, it's a lower model, yes these have never been very pricey ... until recently.

It's an attractive bike - very bling and big on character. With a lot of recent interest in italian and fixed gear bikes coming from new enthusiasts It's easy to see why it can catch the eye. It's condition is quite something, the colour is very flash but works well and not to mention the bukake of chrome head lugs. It's a little obscure to most and that I think adds to it's value.

Whoever bought it did so because it's distinct, in great condition and looks to be all original.

ciao,
