I live for the CABE
UPDATE
The hand grips have been replaced and I'm getting perfectly matching touchup paint for it next week. "IF" I go to the Hoosier swap on the 25th I can bring this bike with me. So that widens the area since I won't ship this bike.
PRICE LOWERED TO $2500
That's as low as I will go, bottom number. I can part it for that. This isn't a bike I want to keep and I don't have room for it. I just agreed to disperse the last of Jim's bikes for his wife. The other four are gone.
This bike is from the Jim Agan Collection in Des Moines, IA. This bike, and a couple others of his are in the "Evolution of the Bicycle vol.2" from the early 1990s.
This bike was restored in 1990, pre-internet and before many current products and techniques were available or in use. The paint is an enamel and much of the graphics are water slide that are showing age by crinkling and chipping.
After Jim passed, his bikes were not taken perfect care of and were handled by a moving company twice. Hence there are a few scrapes and chips.
The rack grill was pushed on and slightly skewed, entirely fixable, no real damage. There is a pea sized slight ding in the front fender that will rub out from behind to be invisible. Barely seen now actually.
All-in-all, with some touch up paint, some elbow grease and perhaps modern stencil graphics, this bike can be perfect again.
I won't ship this bike but will meet the new owner within 250 miles of Des Moines, Iowa to deliver. I go to Kansas City quite often.
$2500.
Will consider reasonable offers in trade of late 1970s Campagnolo parts I need for a current project. No direct bicycle trades.
