Need help in Seatle area
Posted a similar request in the craigslist/E bay thread and in the Facilitator thread...I just wanted a wider distribution... cast a wider net.
Looking for some help acquiring a frame in the Seattle area, Renton WA. this is listed on craigslist, and i reached ot to the lister and the frame is available. I have a certain soft spot for this Ciocc Mockba 80 since i had one back in the day, my first all Italian bike...
Anyone in the area? I know in the current climate and stay at home etc. this may be untenable. just looking for a inspection and purchase if OK... getting the frame to me is no rush, so storage might be needed as well fora time. Ideally, someone who is either driving down for the re-scheduled Eroica CA, or knows someone, so we can just have a hand off at a later time.
Any help or ideas are appreciated. Stay safe and healthy over all!!!

Who is the seller? I suspect I know, and if the add specifically says ‘pick up in my driveway’, I know for sure. I am a few hours away, so not able to help, but he is a trustworthy guy, as far as I know, and getting him to ship would feel just as safe as any EBay purchase from an unknown quantity

I found a frameset in LA that I would like ('88 Paramount in my size), but have decided to not contact the seller nor ask for a facilitator (though a BF member very generously offered) due to everything right now. Naturally that extends to trips here in the area that aren't for groceries etc. Hoping that in a month things ease up and it's back to (more of a) normal. I have a feeling there will be a few frames or bikes "lost" in this time, though on the flip side, many of those frames or bikes will be 'frozen in time' and thus likely available on the back end of all of this. Thankfully, we still have our own bike or bikes with which to enjoy.

The subject frameset is listed in the parts section. He states both Renton and Bellevue as locations.
I'm up in North Seattle (near Green Lake) if he can deliver up here.

Contact - Go Huck Yourself, bike shop on Main Steet in downtown Renton - 425-227-4825.
not sure if they box & ship, but for a fee they are the kinda place that would. Sometimes a young person answers phone. I've worked with them for stuff to maintain my vintage, but they might seem quirky to some. I would specify that tubes get wrapped well and fork & dropouts are 'axled' in place.
