I might go $700.00 if I needed a bike built in that style.

I'm impressed by the zipties........would be pretty nice if og paint and chrome.and no zip ties! A couple hundred bucks in cable clamps would go a long way.And then it's worth about half that price.

I agree, the zipties and repaint put me off too, otherwise it'd be in my garage.

Do the forks look like built to '70's spec., or a decade or two later than that.

Think that Tange fork came out in the late 70's early 80"s?

None of the parts are 70s but maybe the stem bars n seat.wheels brakes and drive train is all 80s stuff.owner is full of crap or not very knowledgeable about his bike.

You do realize who built this bike right? It's Alan Bond, the guy who built the original Mt. tam bikes. This is a spec'd bike for 1979. You obviously don't know anything about your stuff. Sure the price is costly but it's an exact replica of his old builds.

So I guess you can't see the mtb shifters and derailleur.the original ad had some pretty clear pics.
