Not to pour cold water, but some of the comments about which parts shown on this bike are not "correct", and some postings I've read on other bike forums regarding the seller, would seem to mesh. This one could really merit a personal visit and personal pickup.

For the price, I'd expect that the box had never been opened and that the shape of the fork crown and configuration of the seat cluster would be ver ified by x-ray photos, with other pictures of what was inside taken with an endoscopic unit.

Besides, I always liked the Mink Brown color, or, for those of us who grew up in Eugene, the older white-with-Raleigh-colored-panels that Doug at Collins Cycle rode.
