Dear CR List Members: I have decided to "thin the herd" and rather than list these frames directly on E-bay, I thought I would offer them to the CR list members first. They are as follows:

1). A 57.5 cm (C toT) Richard Sachs. It is painted a beautiful metallic red with yellow decals. It does not have any contrasting colors its all metallic red. It has a few very minor paint chips, but the paint is very beautiful, and the Decals are perfect (not dents or scraches). I have owned it for 2 or 3 years and rode it on and off over this time. I paid $840. shipped. Its a beautiful frameset! And has a perfect ride!

2). A 59.5 cm (C to T) Tesch 101 (built in 1989). I bought this frameset from the guy who ogirinally ordered it from Dave Tesch. He purchased it through a pro shop here in Philadelphia (Cycles Bi-Cyle). The frame was stored in the shop from May of 1989 until 2003 when he decided that he wasn't ever going to build it (???). I have his original reciept (he paid $1,165.99 plus $35.00 of a matching frame-fit silca pump, which is included). The frameset is painted "Killer Machine" Blue and its in perfect condition with no knicks or dents. I did build it up and take it for a couple rides (not more than 300 mi total). The reciept is interesting, it lists the price for and "S-22" at $899.99 (plus a $200 premium for a 101). No wonder I could never own one of these when they were new! I paid $450.00 for the frameset, and matching pump in 2003. This Tesch is so original it is suitable for show.

3). A 59 cm (C to T) Guerciotti. This frame is for someone who is interested in restoring a Gureciotti. Someone before me repainted it a white and Aqua fade with poorly refitted the decals. It has the Guerciotti "star" cut out in the Bottom Bracket shell. It has a generic chrome fork. I paid $125.00 for it and built it up for my brother to ride, he no longer has interest in it.

I will take digital photos of these frames and have them available. As I said I'd like CR members to have a first look at these frames, otherwise I'll list them on Ebay in a couple weeks. Please e -mail me if you are interested, at jcasey518@aol.com and I will give you all the particulars of line.
