I should have jumped on this yesterday when I first saw it, but I snoozed and I losed lol.
Priced at $499 it was a steal! I messaged this morning, then called when they opened at 9, to see if I could put a deposit on it over the phone. There was no answer and I called back a few minutes later.
The guy that answered the phone said that it was already sold. There were two guys waiting to get in at 9, and they got into a bidding war.
This was the only pic posted yesterday. I knew it was a good deal, especially with the front brake and what looked like possibly a ND 2 speed.
Thought the seat leather may be missing.
Then I see it again this morning with these pictures added. I realize it does definitely have a 2 speed, although IDK what happened to the shifter. But, looking at these new pics I realize, holy crap it's got a rear drum brake as well. And the seat leather was intact and quite nice looking.
Now I'll be beating myself up all day for not jumping on it yesterday when I first saw it. Looks all complete and original other than the obvious incorrect chainring.
Probably worth $1500 give or take as it sits. Wonder what it ended up selling for when the bidding war was over.
