werd, in 2111 the salvage price of aluminum will likely be through the roof
personally i wouldn't pay 1/10 of what he's asking for that thing. but i appreciate the aesthetics and history, and figured others might too

ocb is not a good place to look for a frame/bike these days - they know what the hipster are willing to pay and price accordingly. also a very frustrating place to get stuff and work done unless you a) know exactly what you are doing and/or b) work with jesse
