Was this Twin flex a score?

Saw it...didn't bid. Sold for 1300 plus fees.

$$?

I thought that auction was this weekend. Both bikes I like went WAY TOO HIGH! That bike went for more than $1600 after fees and tax.

 

[hzqw2l]

Yeah. 1300 plus 23%.

The colson tandem sold for same money. At least it was original paint and complete.

If you won it at the next bid of $1,400 you are in it at over $1,700 plus tax. Missing a $400+ chain guard, the left side tank is pretty moshed in; unknown if the tank is solid or fragile. Then review past sales of what complete original paint examples have sold for on this forum.

The OG paint Colson tandem seems like it was a better deal if that is something you want to own. That bike is cherry-o! Congratulations to the buyer, a two seat dream ride!

Is that an off road skid-plate on it? Goes along with the dual suspension I guess.

It looks like there was a lot of repainting on the tandem.

Did anyone here get the rear steer?
I bid on both, but it got out of hand.

From the pictures I saw, I am not seeing it. Looks cherry-o like the one that Bob Snyder sold at Portland, just in need of a detailing.
