You have style. This is even better!

This would be about 3,500 US delivered to the UK with shipping and duties, I gather. This is nuts for a restored 3Rensho, despite their obvious desirability. It would be nuts even for one that is nearly NOS with original finish. It will never sell for this price on ebay or elsewhere but, of course, no harm in the seller trying. 3,500 can buy you something VERY special -- either brand new as a custom build, or in terms of a very minty vintage, unrestored frame......A Rene Herse or Singer frame, a brand-new Peter Weigle, a fantastic fully equipped Italian 70s road bike......And (just my taste), I would have to strip that finish and have it repainted!!!!!!! Good luck to the seller; at least he has inspired some fun on the forum.....

Thank-you fussballclub. I try to be informative and cautionary without being inflammatory...

Fizzy.bleach, you are, of course, completely correct. However, with all the pressures of modern life one has to vent about something -- if not the travails of the middle class, the plight of higher education, decaying infrastructure, offensive architecture, or the spiralling cost of prescription drugs, why not the prices asked of vintage/classic bikes?
