Somebody please buy this before I am further tempted.  No first-hand knowledge.

Nicely done, at least as far as one can tell from the poor photos.

It's amusing to hear an obvious full cafe conversion described as "The bike has been restored." I'd rather see the seller just acknowledge the bike for what it is, since it clearly deserves a certain amount of respect just for that.

Agreed, Dusty.  I've seen stranger things, though!

True.  Nice that it come with the original parts, though.

Yes, the ad is gone.  Seems that someone answered my plea and bought the bike!

Hi Shaun
Same sense of relief here as well...that was close!
I wonder if Filippo bought it? he still had several square feet of space in the garage to fill.
