Odd looking 850 for sale - San Diego Craigslist

[normzone]

No affiliation, etc. Found this one this morning and can't figure out what I'm looking at.

Stored for 20 years ? Bobberized before storage ?

Must be made of gold.

Oh man, think of the knee pain after a full day on that

 But it's a "California" racer , that must make it worth SOOOOO much more

Well, it's been stored in La Jolla for 20 years - think of the property taxes.

It says OBO - I could shave off the first or last digit of his asking price. But it would still need a seat, mufflers, battery. And it sounds like the brakes are none too good at this moment either.

I had heard that old Tonti prices were escalating due to all the cafe builds, etc. Of course as supply goes down demand/prices will go up, but, come on, this is ridiculous!

Hey John,
I sometimes wish my pegs were that low and that far forward!

The owner of this bike...

Would gladly take 4500.00 for it!

[ritratto]

All it needs is a seat and different bars to be close to stock. And a price 1/3 as much!

It looks like the seat to foot peg distance is really close

[Toystoretom]

The seat is on backwards, isn't it.......

If I were going to spend that much on an older bike, I'd want it to look like this one:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/mcy/5465182136.html

It's got modern brakes and suspension, super clean, and only 500 miles away...

Also note the Ghezzi-Brian V11 Sport in the background, which has been for sale on CL for a looooonnnngggg time.

The only thing I don't like about that red Eldo is the handgrips, and I could probably ignore them if I tried to while I was riding it.

Maybe it has reverse too...high speed reverse....a-la the seat thingy...that could explain the price.

Good gawd, that's owned by the same dude as that horrendous v11 Sport!
