> I could use a few suggestions regarding this bike. If the suggestions go
> something like "You're totally nuts! Forget it!" that's OK, too.
>
> I found a Hetchins Vade Mecum for sale. The seller is in the UK; I'm in
> the Los Angeles area. He does not quote an asking price, but just asks
> me to make an offer.
>
> The pictures he sent me are at http://www.nonlintec.com/
>
> The questions:
>
> 1. What would be a reasonable and fair price for this bike?
>
> 2. What is the best way to handle the business end of the transaction?
> How does one complete a sale like this securely? (I'm not asking about
> the mechanics of money transfer; I know that. I'm understandably
> reluctant to send a pile of cash to someone I don't know.)
>
> 3. Any other comments on the bike?
>
> Thanks for your suggestions.
