Thanks Bill! That was exactly my question. It seems like it would be much easier to ship a frame also. By best, I meant best $ return, least waste $ and risk on shipping, fewest headaches. I agree with your summary to sell as a frameset. Scott On Monday, August 29, 2016 at 1:28:57 PM UTC-6

[RBW] Re: Thinking of Selling my 56 A Homer Hilsen!

I think this is on topic enough... Someone let me know if I need to start a new thread. Is it best to sell an AHH or Atlantis as a complete bike or as a frameset? I am considering a similar transaction. Scott On Monday, August 29, 2016 at 12:49:07 PM UTC-6, Joe Bernard wrote: > > A

Here is what is left: One pair of XXL Swobo wool knickers with a pad. Don't know if they make these anymore. Very, very, very lightly used. $20 shipped One Carradice bag support, like the Silver Hupe. Rubber intact, not that it matters, as it will scratch your frame no matter what! $15 shipped.
