Maybe it was a good deal.
I looked at one like that recently.  It looked good in the CL photos but it had been outside too long.
The whole bike was pitted & oxidized and all the rubber was shot. Under the seat was horrible.
Would have needed a TOTAL restore/rebuild.

          Yes, that happens alot.  Some peoples idea of nice ( or restored )  is waaaay out on the other side of realitiy, especially on EBAY.  They say a picture never lies............BULL$HIT !    :o    ;)

Oh, well that's completely different!  In that case, yeah it would have been a steal. :(
