I do not know the seller. I am not the seller. I have not seen the bicycle. I will not be bidding. I simply am showing you another example of a PRODUCTION SHORTAGE- April 1974 made Suburban that has a Varsity front fork (with the Suburban/Conti fork decal) instead of the tubular fork that was seen on Suburban/Continental.
