On one hand I concur with both Dirk and Peter on the price of that LARGE Opus being steep, but I also need to remind myself that the Hetchins frame & fork I got last year - a 60's-something Bonum/Opus was (to me at the time) an extremely fortunate score for what I paid, especially since its MY size (61cm) and has some pretty unique design element combinations (Bonum head lugs, opus spears on the forks, opus bb spears on the chainstays, et) If I needed a 64-65cm frame, I'd bet there were only 10-15 of them EVER built in that size pre-'68. Thank goodness mine built up will come in costing me...well... less than that big boy is going for now, but I am exceedingly fortunate. I'd say Dirk, if you want it, just go for it....you'll be glad for the rest of your life that you got it!
Best,
