I'm loathe to jump back in because I regretted (and deleted) my last round of price whining BUT... that Clem H frame is presented as ridden with some nicks and scratches. I guess he's adding in the cost of cranks and posh but I still don't see $1600 there. BUT I did a KBB search on my four year old car yesterday just to see what the market looks like these days (I do this occasionally) and was shocked at how much the value has shot up in a year. So who knows, maybe used Rivs are getting crazy prices now! 🤷
