I appreciate your input, Gregory. I do have the bike X-posted locally (same price) and on eBay (higher price). I have had two buyers drop out at the last minute, so have a box ready to go!
While I’m in no rush to sell, I would rather it not languish on the market when it could be ridden and enjoyed by a new owner.
I would much rather the bike go to an enthusiast, so I will be lowering the price for BF members. I am also completely open for negotiations, possible trades, and other reasonable offers. As long as the bike goes to someone who will love it, I’m okay not making a few extra $$$
Price bump!

Your Frejus is in extremely good condition by way of comparison, and just as rare. The size is a bit awkward with such a long reach compared to the seat tube, but I know many Italian racing frames were designed thusly. I think your price is fair, but you may need to expand your advertisement to include eBay and expect to pay those seller fees from the current asking.
