Hey, production bikes get no respect. I didn't even get a rise when I "declared" Austro-Daimler the world champ.

I'm a sucker for paying high for timeline Japanese bikes- I just picked up my
second late 70's Fuji- The 'Newest' (as seen at Cirque) is 100% orig - (even
the soyo black gardenhose tubs) and the one I got last week was even older-a
Finest with mostly chrome frame and blue over it.
The Zebra , while it may have the originality and condition, is akin to a nice fourdoor Dodge Coronet from that era. If it were the ragtop twodaoor in that shape, a greater find, and it it were the Superbe or DA AX Zebra, same story.
Good luck bidding, but I feel since even I'm out on this one, it may get the goose egg for bid no'
