This is an amazing bike. Besides the stem, you'd be hard pressed to find a better wingbar. The above parts list prices may or may not be accurate but whatever bike you would need the part for would pale in comparison to this complete original example. Much prefer this bike over a pieced together re-creation. Therefore should be worth more than the parts total. Well bought. Congrats to the new owner.

One of the most beautiful survivors I’ve seen!
Hopefully someone here snagged it!?!

Great bike, hopefully a bike-butcher didn't get it!

Great history. Why assume it will get chopped up? Sometimes it is worth more than money complete.

 

[mrg]

Not assuming but when the first thing people talk about is the value of the parts and have seen it too many times before, butchers only see $$ not a great piece of history!

 

[1motime]

The only times something like gets chopped up is when the buyer cannot afford to keep the bike. Why buy it in the first place?
Plenty of other things to make money off of

I was watching storage wars last night and the guy paid $1100 for about $100 in junk.. There was a cheap dresser in there with the leg broken off .. Worthless .. That should have been a clue .. Ha ha !
