Excuse me for sounding a snob but I really don't think £2k is that much money? It is in the sense that if I lost 2k, I'd be pissed, but I know some people that pay that sort of money for a years car insurance..
I come from a motor racing background, a historic piece is everything. I think judging this bike on it's condition of the paint work is irrelevant, it is what it is. If this where a car, it'd be a Ferrari 250gto, which sold for $41m. You're telling me something which such an iconic status is not worth 2k?
I think some people think a fat London banker is going to buy this frame whilst sitting with his feet up, fingers full of gold rings counting his money and laughing because he's got more money and he's not going to ride the frame. Horror of all horrors, a fucking cyclist buys this?
Also while I'm at it, if someone buys this and keeps it on there wall or rides it, I don't give a shit, neither should you.
I also love how people try and value things "no way is any steel frame worth over £500 etc etc". Bollocks.
