Catfish the ebay auction for this specimen was one of
the more mysterious in the history of ebay.

The auction opened - then not too many hours passed
and was closed. Have not heard any grapevine chatter
as to what happened to the bicycle.

Regardless, the auction provides some great historical
documentation for the rest of us.

Thank you for posting this, Brother Catfish !

INTERESTINGLY ... the auction seller does post a direct
fone number to his place o' business. Maybe one of us
bold souls will make a call to find the story behind the story.

I tried phoning him within half an hour of it going onto ebay but I could never get an answer, and he didn't answer my ebay message. I half-expected it to turn up here

Colin ... so did I.

A good friend of mine, and fellow CABEr told me of his inten-
tion to place a sizable bid on the machine and let the auction
play thru.

Then, quicker than any mortal could say, ''I Shot the Sheriff ...'',
the auction pulls a Titanic and has failed to resurface.

Awesome badge and some good info.
Thanks.......


Thank you - oldiron73 ... below is a foto of the badge
after the final cleaning ... using a pink pearl eraser
available in ''school-supplies'' area of retail stores
everywhere.

Lastly .. four coats of Krylon matte-finish spray were
applied to help prevent re-oxidation.
