The second placed and the original bidder of $1225 for that derailleur must have been sick at being beat by a nose in the last 20 seconds for the sake of $25 or maybe he was overJUYed.

So just what is the record on e-bay for a single component or are the Rene Herse cranks currently at $1750 (1200 g.b.p.) now in the lead ? - Commiserations to Ken for getting left behind at the first jump.......

Somewhere out there - "Now, if I can just strip this old beauty down, let me see 20 parts, $1000 minimum each um...... I could buy me 3 bike-boom Cinelli's for that at least - now they were classics"

p.s. Free Ken Denny - at least he could generate 40 postings to the list full of historical fact and not fiction.

p.p.s. Not bought your Brown Bros. CD yet ? - only US$18 and cheaper than JUY-53 derailleurs...... (no relation to seller)
