NOS? Looks like a respray or a re-finger paint.

If that's nos original paint then that is a very very super cool
Project. Love the chrome e-stay with the boxy front end.
You could really have fun with that build.

Actually the paint was a special order so its original from the factory. What I did was sent in a green tie-died tank top and the matched it PERFECTLY. Had the bike unbuilt forever and now FINALLY is going to get built. Reason why it was on ebay was confusion, not to be sold so that's why it disappeared so quickly before the bidding ended.

Looks like it closed outside of eBay.

Actually (and it took some difficult reasoning) I have decided to list my baby on eBay. I think I could count on one had how many frames there are out there in the world but I am CERTAIN that my frame is the only one that was never built with 0 miles and a custom from the factory paint job. I'll post some pictures of my frame here before I list it on eBay. My hope is that this baby ends up in a museum. My cycle shop said I should list it for 3000 and 5000 buy it now. I was thinking 2000 and 4000 but I may listen to their suggestion.

Not sure it will pull numbers like that. It would be nice if it did though. I think Mantis bikes are undervalued.

Good luck with your sale. However I think those prices are extremely optimistic NOS or not.
