Personally, I think the Huffy 7-11 team bikes are cooler, not to mention being On Topic (or at least closer to On Topic) without appealing to the KOF rule. And for 2 grand, you'd think the guy would put back the Dura Ace derailleurs in the photos without charging an extra $200.

Still, for a well-heeled buyer who was a big fan of the 7-11 team in that particular era, I suppose this might seem like a bargain.

I rode one of these frames for good while, and I still remember it fondly as the best riding steel frame I ever had. And although the bike in question appears to be an authentic team issue bike, I think that at the current bid of $1,975, it is at or close to its max fair market value, and therefore I don't think I'll be spoiling anybody's hope of getting it cheap. I suppose if the bike had better and well documented provenance, the price could go higher. But as it is, I think it's maxed out. In any event, it's a great bike and I'd love to have it.
