I agree, very interesting story. ?Anyone else skeptical about the stated toptube size of 51? ? My eyes aren't calibrated, but that doesn't look like a short toptube to me. ?Lou Deeter, Orlando FL USA

Does anybody know a source (other than buying this bike for EUR 5000 (which would be nice, if I had the money (and if it were even vaguely my size))) for the frame protector things in the third and eleventh pictures of this auction? .the ones that are keeping the bar-end shifter cables from doing a number on the head tube lugs?

In any case, an interesting bike with an interesting story.
