Interesting. Thanks for sharing that. I guess that will deliver the highest price for the charity, but would drive me nuts as a bidder. I was thinking about this 10 minutes ago as my son just bought a bike online, and got a tremendous deal. No $350 shipping, etc.!
My friend bidding on this has moved into the irrational range, not as wise as you are. He's going to pay a big premIum for the bike, and could have a full custom masterpiece for the same price. By the same builder. But then it would not be a RW bike. My hunch is that he's just not going to "lose", at least on the auction.
Some of the steel bikes do look intriguing, still.
Good luck!
