I'm the August 1st buyer of the Flandria. Jerry, I think that it was a bit more complete than the one you got (only the seat pin is missing), although I may be mistaken on that. In any case, I was kicking myself for letting the first one get away. As a self-styled field sprinter in my questionable 25 years of racing, Freddy Maertens was always a hero of mine (his alleged drug taking and bad management at the hands of Lomme Driessens not withstanding). It was well worth the price just to be able to hang it next to my collection of stolen Tour of Flanders dirctional signs. And, to boot, its my size.

It also had those tough-to get early DA hubs in the original wheelset, yes? I have some flandria SL framesets stashed, so I have been watching this thread. Congrats on a good score!
