all the kona kool-aid drinkers here are waiting to snipe. of course, they'll overwhelm the system in the last 15 seconds and none will have gotten a bid in. :D

whats the appeal to these? wouldn't aluminum be lighter and equally suited to the application?

something about the pic is odd. i see not many showing whole parts or sections. also, the angle he uses makes it difficult to determine the profile. i would have to consult the huffy archive to be sure model it is. colors are correct, but i'm still suspicious.

very funny melvin!!

it already has full xt. 7spd. thumbies. theres a scott aero bar on there that will probably need a change at some point. (it's not oem, too big, and looks a little silly for my taste.) i'll probably teardown, polish up the frame, put it all back together, and see how i feel about it. will likely...

well, i guess i owe you guys a round of drinks..or something. $40.00 out the door. and was one of the first 10 bikes or so auctioned so i didnt even have to sit there all afternoon. :o ...and to think just a few bikes before, they bid a mid 90s cannondale m300 over $300.00. needless to...

rody, I'm pretty sure you've heard of it , maybe even been to it- penn state. ...just about to start actually. good crowd milling about.

i'd be ok with 60.00 too. we'll see. i bet it hits 200.00 though. :?

i know the feeling. so how much would you pay for it? one of the things ive heard about this auction is that people get into a frenzy and overpay. some of the LBS guys come too and buy parts bikes or stuff to resell and often bid up the prices. jsut about everything else there is low end...

ok..this an an auction by the local uni. they do it every spring for abandoned or recovered bikes. the last pic is of the floor space. that's about 1/3 of the bikes to sell. probably 200 total. the alien that is there is one of only four i'd consider bidding on. its also the only one ive...

very astute of you. :) it's this one. you know your stuff, what do you think? local bike auction. i'm going to the preview so i'll see if i can get real pics.

id like to hear what you guys think of bikes that were something special in their day, but that have been well used, or left outside, and just generally look battered. paint scratches, scrapes, and nicks. wear marks. etc. most of the interest seems to be in nos or near mint condition items. i...

how does this compare to today's frame technologies?

you know, that is one of the few uses of color anodizing that i think actually looks good and better than silver or black would.

we need a high-tech smuggling operation.

bin is gone. will be interesting to see if it sells for above that.

just divert them to a football match. ...ooohhhh. :D

i think first flight has already contacted the seller. :roll:

if you get stuck, i will accept delivery and ship to you.

well, they turned out to be a first class outfit. i sent an email abotu the issue and heard back immediately. they shipped me a nos deore dx hub the next day, which has arrived, and told me to keep the exage. an excellent resolution. :D www.jonesbicycles.com they're on ebay too.
