Maybe Heffay or Rxman know, but somebody in SE Colorado seems to be a collector or turnover dealer.  I've seen a number of nice old (though not like this one) bikes come up on Ebay in the last year or two from that general area.  I don't have a clue who it is, but a while back they had some very nice British bikes from the 60s and 70s.  I don't think they've had the same seller ID, but what are the odds of all these bikes showing up in southern Colorado?

This guy, Trustinrust, seems like an old v twin guy who mostly deals in parts. I also was checking out the Excelsior auction as I check the non standard marques on ebay weekly waiting for my $500. Black Shadow to appear. About as close as I ever got to this type of bike was riding a Whizzer, but I imagine it's like riding on a bicycle that goes 100mph, and feels pretty solid, an exciting proposition to say the least!

Stinky pictures.  That would bother me a lot if I was thinking of bidding.
