Charles and list,
This bike looks to me like it may have been pieced together. I could be wrong, but the badge alone (clearly NOT in the same condition as the rest of the bike!) may indicate that. If that is the case; it's not "all original" as described. I think maybe someone had a REALLY nice frame and collected the parts. I especially like the last line; "the asking price is symbolic, please make an offer". Interesting approach.
Brian Baylis La Mesa, CA If that bike is worth anywhere near $14K; these old tennis shoes I'm wearing must be worth at least $500!
this bike, just outed by Fred:
is nice enough, but it's been quite awhile since I've seen a more entertaining example of a seller doing some fishing.
That's an early/mid 70s Cinelli in, admittedly, very good original condition from what I can tell. Such bikes routinely sell for 3-4K on ebay and have for some years now. There is nothing different about this one to justify such a price.
But I give the seller points for trying. Times being what they are, I might try it myself.
