Ive never shied away from buying odd sized bikes ( at 5'8" im a 53-55 myself - anything over 60 is "weird" to me ) to strip for parts, but there are some - like this one - that are so one-off that you think -- "Somebody can use this and really like it !"
I picked up a St.Tropez Terry knockoff that I went through. It sat on CL for about a month until some young lady drove up from Chicago saying it was the perfect bike for her.
