Jerry,

Nice condition Simplex Criterium's regularly sell in the $40 to $50 range on ebay. I have not seen any nice clean ones sell for less then $40 in a long time. Besides how clean this one appears to be, is the fact that it is date stamped 1970; one so clean, from that vintage is hard to come by. In fact, I've been looking for a really nice 1969 or 1970 for about two years now with no luck. I'm still out of luck, as I'm not ready plunk down the more than $73 that it's now pulling!
