eBay


My 56cm '77 Sachs is sold and will be on it's way to a new home soon.

Some interesting facts:
1200 + views of the auction
85 watching (tracking)
8 people sent questions/asked for more info
Only 1 bid @ starting (and ending) price of $875.00
Buy it now price of $1150 lasted for two days with no takers.

A 57cm Sachs Strada Immaculata (eg, not a signature model) sold during the same time for $1499. A nice looking frame, but $625 better? Here's a link.

Call me cynical, but I think the lack of decals was a factor. Are bike enthusiasts really that shallow or was it just an ebay thing?

I hope the new home appreciates my frame (I think it will). Lots of nice details on this one that you won't find on the Strada Immaculata.
