Wow indeed . Now can you find me an 18" one as this is 20.5"

I just talked to the fellow and he seemed like such a nice guy that I had to tell him it was worth more then $500.
Sorry if i ruined anyones day.

I see...it's now $1500.

He should just put it on ebay, and get 1 million dollars

trying for another box of Karma, eh

 

[GearlessinSeattle]

LMAO.
Yes Karma could be the factor.
I thought about getting it myself but after talking to him I just couldn't.
He bought it new and had great stories about riding it BITD and even going to the Moots factory 2 years after he bought it and they still had his name on the build chalk board. Kinda cool. He told me that when he ordered it 2 of his friends ordered at the same time so there are 2 other Moots Mountaineers in the Portland area of the same year.
Ah, to have all the money in the world!

I'll be surprised if it sells at the new price. Old bike market isn't what it used to be and Moots don't often get the big bucks, not that they aren't really nice bikes.

You should be made to pay the difference.

That went fast...wonder what the seller settled on for a price.

He just put it on eBay. He might get the opening bid.
