This is where Stef starts snickering...

That must be a ball to ride.

Possibly a truly seminal riding experience.

Looks like it's in plum condition.

"(NO FORK unless you use the "buy it now" option)" What is the guy going to do with a red steel fork?

Boy am I naive. I didn't get this until now.

I still don't get any of it, but I don't know near the amount of cyclists as you folks do. I am just a commuter.

gg: it's about word substitution. Think "another name for Richard" and "seminal".

You really notice a vas differens in ride quality on a $5k steel bike

^Pierce FTW.

@gg, it also helps to remember that people who bicycle a lot basically are mentally still stuck in high school, or maybe middle school.

@gg - no need to get testy...

also, what musical instrument rhymes with "Sachs"?

jon, maybe I am in elementary school. :) I was curious who this person was to have such a collection on interesting stuff. From a Sachs bike, that can't be purchase new unless you are a pro on the Sachs team to a Defender 90, which is a vehicle you can't buy here anymore and are very rare. Sounds like an interesting person to say the least.

Was my bike. Sold for $4500 for reference. Supply (almost none, 1-2 used team bikes per year that go for $7k+ in similar sizing, closed wait list unless a teacher or military) vs. demand (limited but not zero). This is the fourth one that I have sold over the years. As for the Defenders...same story, especially for the 93 110s and the 94, 95, and 97 90s that were North American Spec. The fork comment in the listing was an error from a prior template where the frame was for sale with a matching fork of the buyer used the buy it now price...aka, no low offers accepted unless you want to source your own fork.
