This is where the actual Auction will be taking place so here are the official rules for the auction.
1. The Auction will run from 12:01am CST December 1st to 6:00pm December 6th.
2. The bid increment is $20 from the beginning of the auction until 6:00pm December 5th. This means that if the current high bid is $300 then the next bid will be $320, no more-no less. I am doing this to prevent someone from jumping in mid-auction and jumping the price out of reach of many of the members. I would like the thread to be active the entire length of the auction. After that the gloves are off and anything goes for the final 24 hours of the auction.
3. Only bidders from the continental U.S. are eligible.
4. An additional $60 for shipping will be required and IS NOT included in your bid.
5. The winning bidder has 24 hours to (a) contact me to arrange for shipping (shipping payment will be sent to me) and (b) submit payment in the amount of the winning bid by clicking the "DONATE" button at the bottom of the page. Should these two conditions not be met for any reason the bike will be passed to the second place bidder.
6. This thread will be for bidding on the bike only. Any questions or comments regarding the rules should be pm'd to me directly. Questions or comments about the bike can be posted HERE.
If you plan on bidding please take the time to read through the BUILD THREAD so you know exactly what you are bidding on.
I will be posting some detailed pics of the bike in this thread before the start of the auction. Here are a few for now.
The helmet and goggles are included with the bike.
Garagegoon donated the '41 CWC frame and several other parts in addition to getting the entire build rolling.
Pick took care of the mirror black and ivory powder coating, donated the grips and several small parts.
Kingzeeba1 added the Brooks B66 and the goggles.

Several members (Sorry, I don't have a list) donated cash towards the Jerald Sulky Slicks
