I will make a small comment concerning this auction since there were issues mentioned regarding the MC in the serial number and a question as to when it was repainted. The seller is Sterling Peters, a fellow listmember. He is also a fellow listmember who I have purchased items from in the past and would do so in the future with confidence. Always fair with price and product. I would consider him a very trustworthy source and if there is misleading info, it might be from what the seller was told when he purchased the bicycle. I don't believe it would be intentional. Is it possible that the frame was repainted in another year other than the ones you checked or by someone else? Maybe an answer would help clarify any questions concerning this auction. Walt Skrzypek
