Nice bike. I believe, per forum rules, there needs to be a price assigned to any item for sale. Good luck!

The CL ad shows $1500 (now - maybe it didn't before?).
Too big for me. Good

Sorry, it is/was on the listing which is why I didn't mention it. $1500 seems reasonable but I'm all ears. That number came from Peter but I realize that value is a function of the market. You guys seem to know your stuff and I think whoever buys this knows what a fair price looks like once you see/ride it. I'm not looking to get rich from it but I've put a little money into it and it's ready to go. Thanks for looking.

$1,500 seems like a steal.

that's a short top tube for that size frame, which is especially odd since the stem is 130mm, are you 100% on that measurement, center to center? What a beautiful machine, do I need a 3rd, 1981 built machine? Probably not, but it sure looks nice.

One of the guys at the shop gave me the measurements. Im pretty confident in them being correct but I'll check the notes.

okay, cool, was just curious, it's not unheard of short, I have had frames with those dimensions but I am generally ride 62 or 61 c-c frames and 95% of those I have owned (which is quite a few) have been 58 or 59, usually the handmade to order one are longer. I actually has a Raleigh pro once that was 61x56 c-c that was short.

I live right around the corner. There's a public parking lot close by I thought would be a good place to meet if someone were so inclined. As much as I care for you all, there seem to be some questionable subjects amongst us. I just figured a little anonymity might be in order.

The Drive Side is Within
My Panasonic was 66cmx58cm and fit me just fine. 61x57 does not seem odd to me at all. Gorgeous bike.

I live on Mooney Road. A fine address for a fine bike, if the bike were smaller and I was richer and thinner.
