Folks,
I talked to a guy in New Mexico today who has a 85 Professionel for sale (right now on consignment). He says the frame is in really nice shape but I haven't seen any photos. I was really interested in it until I found out the frame is 57 or 58 cm which is too big for me. I offered to let folks here know about it and he was agreeable to that. The bike has been for sale for 3 months or so with no offers. He wants it to go to someone who will appreciate it and not strip the parts off or make it a single speed. He's got it listed for now at $600 and would probably come down a little. He's also willing to ship it.

If anyone is interested please PM me and I'll provide the name and phone number.

Scott

The owner emailed me tonight - he went by the shop today and the bike sold over the weekend for $800 - must have been pretty nice.

Thanks for the update Scott. Do you have any photos? It sounds like a great bike.

Nope. The owner forgot to take them when he took it to the bike shop since he was selling it locally. I guess we'll never know what it looked like.

Thanks for the update Scott. I was keen to see condition against price but it must have been a nice machine.

On to the next one...
