rollingon3 I can't find that lot number and it's not in todays auctions. Searched for bicycles, pair of Schwinns a Gitane, a cool ape-hanger with banana saddle, but (yes, I know "insane" is a subjective term) nothing which made me lose my hair.
Could you describe a bit better what to look for?

Clearly trying to generate attention. Either it's the owner of the items in question or someone associated with the auction itself.

It's a Huffy. Perfect for the next Huffy/Campy build.

The odor of a certain canned meat product hangs heavy in the air.

NICE LeTour II (1981) currently at $4.00

Extra nice NISHIKI Prestige (1985) currently at $16.

Gitane (1971) currently at $31.

It won't let me link to the photos but they are worth looking at. <-- their loss, not mine.

Shipping is NOT available.
