Given that I'm a Green Bay Packers fan living in Minnesota, I'd have bought the frame for the color

with nearly perfect paint, headset, TA BB and front and rear Taylor racks (With serial #s
matching the frame, and which had never been installed.) for $262.50 USD.

Given how he got it, and why he was selling it, I didn't feel at all bad about taking advantage
of him. It was a gift from a friend in England, who's health had deteriorated so he could
no longer ride. He didn't appreciate it, ("Weighs a pound more than my Trek's frame.") never
used it, and when the giver passed away he was free to get rid of it.
