That is outrageous.

It is ... all black hardware and it still hardly shows a mark!

I honestly heard about the bike and planned to strip and use the parts on my Romax before I saw it. Than I collected it ... :shock: :shock: :shock: ... no way. It stays as is and gets the white glove treatment.

That was my dream bike - except in the pearlescent white - when I was a university student. I haven't seen one since 88 or 89. Wow, what a find.
