[RBW] Long-low for sale in SF Craigslist

2011-11-10 Thread Thomas B
I wanted to get some advice on a recent posting for a +10 year old Long Low advertised on Bay area Craigslist. I've read some of the older comments on this discussion group and it seems like a frameset that has been offered and discussed before several times, albeit at higher prices. Please check

Get some full-sized pix from the seller. Find out if it's a Waterford or Joe/Joe build. Then at that point, go see it in person if you're in the Bay Area. If it's Joe/Joe, it's pretty well priced. W'ford, not so much so. FYI, here's a tantalizing lead recently dropped on flickr:

There is a Long Low prototype for sale here in the Bay Area. The owner may post it later but for now contact me. It's 60 by 59 I believe, green and white and if it had a bit longer top tube I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The price is $1550 and I can put you in touch with the seller. Phil Brown --
