It's probably the most perfect Newsboy I've seen in the last 10 years...can't say it's that surprising. There was a beat newsboy about a year ago on ebay, and that one went for around $3k iirc...which I might not.

But it has the two-part bar, which I think is not so cool. I think the original run of Newsboys was much more desirable.

hmmm, care to link me to photos/page further explaining what you mean? I love reading up on this stuff. Thanks

Look at the bar that becomes the seat stays on my newsboy. It is a single piece of bent titanium. On the ebay newsboy, it is two pieces, welded at the seat tube. Cheaper to fab, but not so elegant.

And that is a pic of mine pre-work. It is going to end up a lot nicer.

Yea, the LX... strange build decision for sure. This is the same size as the one on eBay, and yes it is a small.
