it'll make for a better "wait for it " threadI agree.All these comments left the door open and gave enough clues for somebody to make the move.I guess this thread ends with no solution or decision.

Makes your decision easy now....but don’t make two members jump!!!made somebody jump
Looks like a poor brazing job that has let loose on a broken frame. These things rot...Ebay BB is a mess under the paint
I'm confused.....
I think Ed meant to say "I'd take it OVER the Ebay Bluebird any day.The Robin was the way to go. I'd take it ebay the ebay bluebird or the schween ranger any day.
That's what the CABE is for? To solicit opinions from others you trust to help you make a decision you admit you are not qualified to make. Does your comment suggest that a person that isn't an expert ( or have deep pockets$$) cannot buy a high end bicycle? It's an exclusive "club"? Well that's just sad. Not what the CABE or the hobby is about in my mind. Chime in group if you agree.My unsolicied advice is that when you consider dropping this kind of coin you should have enough knowledge to make a decision with relying on group consensus. V/r Shawn

What kind of message does that send to new members? Not everyone has DEEP pockets or are as informed as people such as...well you Shawn. I admit, I'm still a student of the hobby after 35 + years, but have humility and admit it. I've been in contact with an old pal Leon Dixon over the last week, and he has given me lots of food for thought on the hobby ( again), and lots of cool info, pictures, and his classic humour. He's Class all the way, just as he was back in the 80's...I digress.
People with more money and knowledge than myself on anything ( funny, the Robin comes to mind?) neither intimidate me or put my enthusiasm for the hobby off kilter. I have so many great Cabe buddies, and enjoy the banter, info, pics, and above all, we are ALL EQUAL no matter what our pocketbook/bank acct. says, or if you don't know a Rocket ray from a prewar loader. We are all just people trying to have fun. Cheers, Bob
