Yup, way too tall, but I RBer @Retro_Roy definitely needs to know about this one. It's about 10 miles away from him, and I'm pretty sure he already has a smaller one (maybe he'll sell that one to me???)

Mmmmmm I don't like the look of that

I know what you mean, but looking at the dirt that’s trapped at the top I’m gonna say that’s under some clear protection film and the black lines are the edges of the film…. but I could be wrong just as equally obviously!

 

[KermitGKona88]

You may well be right... It was late, I was tired, yadda yadda yadda...

 

[Retro_Roy]

nothing to worry about here. this is my bike. what you are
seeing is just dust collecting on the edge of the clear protective tape.
i assure you this frame is immaculate and an absolute beauty in the flesh.
i am trying to raise some $$$$$ to help my daughter by a place. this one
wouldn't be going anywhere if i hadn't been lucky enough to find another
one that was slightly smaller that fit me better. with only 9 of these ever built
some lucky person has a possibly once in a lifetime opportunity here.

I appologise unreservedly in that case, damn my suspicious mind...

 

[Retro_Roy]

all good. better to alert other retrobikers to a potential
problem before hand. the community has to watch out for itself.
who knows, i could have been some random unscrupulous craigslist
seller.

I would love your Brodie, (to help fund the move), but i fear the cost + post +customs would render it out of reach if not already sold.
