What you don’t realize is, we’re all buying it together and sharing custody.

Maybe you didn’t get the group PM?

It’s $800 a share for four laps around your local Tesco carpark twice a year.

I've paid more than that for bikes I ride less than that, so, bargain, I'm in.

Wow. That's one expensive bicycle. Not even 13 speed!

 

[Synthiaks]

I mean, the top bar pad he has listed too is going for $300 alone!

I mean, this is such a frankly ridiculous bike and price I don't have anything to say.

Other than, if I was rich I'd probably buy it.

He's not wrong about it being one the finest examples out there...

If it's even real. Lol.

He has a few other bits contemporary to this era....wondered if maybe from an ex-employee as all look mint & theres multiples of the pad, stickers etc are an odd find.....who knows.....yes, absolutely bonkers money, but maybe Elon Musk wanted one as a kid and was denied, now he can snap it up, can't be many unrestored in this condition.

For something else, I could buy a DeLorean

And use it to go back to the future and purchase a 1979 Cook Bros Cruiser with the intent to sell it in 2022 for $75k? ,

 

[Synthiaks]

how much were they new in 79?

maybe this is just allowing for inflation....

 

[Magpiegifts]

Wonder what the bloody reserve is???

 

[Hotwheels.]

It ended with reserve not met.
Item no longer available, I guess he figured that was the limit what someone would pay and did the deal at £55k.

Amazing ! About a year ago,this came up for sale in offerup.I didnt flinch at the price of 500.00 but since he was not home till the next day,i could not be there when he got home and sold it to someone else. What could have been.
