Help me decide

[udallcustombikes]

This guy has had this listed for a while and his price has slowly dropped. I am thinking I want it, but with it being almost 2 hours away, I need help with deciding. Anyone have any info on manufacturer or if his stated age is correct?

Cool bike. Seat is incorrect, Fender is modified. Lots of cool parts- handlebars, truss fork, chainring.

Price would be great most places but you live in the middle of barns chocked full of bikes. I would still guess it would not be a bad price in your neck of the woods. Maybe the guy can meet you halfway driving to ease the transaction.

I say buy it. If that is a siren on the front forks, you could sell that and make your money back.

I was thinking the bars are worth the asking price too. Buy it...I would

I am waiting for him to send me some more pics to help make up my mind.

Looks like a sweet deal to me.

It's hard to lose on anything that old for under $100.

Just need to make sure there are no bends, cracks or rewelds.

I noticed that one, I emailed him with an offer since he originally didnt post a pic or a price... well he didnt like my offer and was quite rude about it, seems like they guy was wanting to do more of an auction thing, so... good for him, I hope it works out.

Since he has finally posted a price, and its $75, seems like a good deal to me, but better pics would be a plus! those lousy craigslist pics dont show details at all, it may be all beat up?

Waited too long. Anyone here get it?

Figures... if the guy would have posted a price in the beginning, it would have been sold several weeks back. :roll: :roll: :roll:

How about these??? $25 to $30 bones. Part them out or hack them. I wish there were here I'd take them all.

$1000 for both, talk about 2 extremes ...

I'd buy all of those if they were in CT...

That red Traveler will be a very sweet bike to restore and ride. Those have the stainless steel fenders and scripted brakes... lovely high end bike of its day. Had a '62 and it was a gem.

The others are all various stages of cool... would be easy to sell here next summer for double to quadruple your money.

I suppose the dollar is not equal in all parts of the country...
