This should appeal to most everyone

Just makes you stop, and stare. Incredible. When I look at it though the eyes of desire, I think it is a pretty small price to pay for a real slice of history, better than any other art work I can think of. Meanwhile in the world of bills and work and marriage and kids, things can get unstable if hobbies get too expensive.

At least those taller than about 6'3" or so.

wow that an awesome bike to get your hands on. Real peice of history. I would lvoe it however my car cost less than that so its propabbyl out of my league.

Good luck to those looking at getting it.

Wow! Size would be good for me too ..... not that I'd dare to ride it even if I could afford it.

surely this will fit nicely in your collection?

Lovely looking bike.
I'm going to wait until next month though when a Series One will be up on eBay. The seller just needs to source some original bars before listing. I've just popped them in the outbox so it shouldn't be long folks!

Si

Oh my. That really is quite lovely.

Not many will be throwing a leg over it, but it will still have broad appeal. In other words, I don't anticipate this thread going to 10 pages with rants and raves.

Already at $6200.00

I'd hope the buyer would be one of those --- or at least willing to do it if it fit him/her. Far be it from me to criticize someone for buying a bike for "collecting purposes" that doesn't fit (as I'm certainly guilty of that), but two points:

1.) at least this isn't one of the frail, crack-tastic frames of the early/mid nineties that seem to get so much love here. There's no reason this one couldn't be ridden regularly.

2.) as someone who's had my large-sized bikes criticized here and elsewhere for not being as aesthetically pleasing as "normal" (i.e., smaller) bikes, I'm interested to see if those kinds of comments get applied in this case. While I agree that we get used to seeing bikes in a particular size range, to me if you're 6'3" plus, I'd much rather see (and ride) a bike that actually fits instead of a "normal" size frame with a stupid 20" long seat post and 8" drop to the handlebars.

Now this is an amazing bike. Majestic and powerful in its large size. I'm 6'4"and this retro grail would fit me nice. Would look great next to my Cunningham.
So how high is it gonna go?

Well said that man.

This is Joe's own, and apparently not for the taller gent at all. Take a look at the ad as he has added some more about size

OMG its my size too.Shame its gone over my limit by about $5000

Serious piece of history,Like owning one of Hendrix's guitars.

What makes you say that? It's not.

As for its size, the original listing (refreshingly) gives very precise and useful information on that: 33.8" stand over and 30.75" saddle height (presumably measured from the BB along the seat tube axis). I think most would agree that this WAS designed for a "taller gent" to ride.
