I don't think I've ever seen 70,000+ items for sale in the bike parts section of ebay ... until today ....

Today might be a GREAT time to be purchasing vintage cycles and cycle parts. Last night I lost an auction for a NOS TA Professional 42/52 english Crankset with BB included for (!) $45 + $8 s/h. I'm glad I lost because it was a sympathy bid and I'm certain that crank would have turned into another entirely new bike, but sheesh! What a screaming bargain someone got !!
