Also a " Price is Right " $ sale estimate.

Apparently frog green paint is expensive.

This bike has been listed many times before. It keeps moving around Southern California and the mileage has been dropping over time. It started with 17K miles, then went to 11K, then to 10.5K, now the ad claims 10K. (Odo shows 10,316)
And it's still being called a "Survivor" 
A year ago it was $5900, now it's $10,750

What a mess.

[msr]

Not what I would call a "survivor".

[The Red Scourge]

I'd be happy to never have to see that again.

I just ran across this abomination & was about to chuck it on the forum when I found this thread! Can anyone in the area go and smack some sense into this moron? Why, for the love of CHRIST would anyone ruin a classic like that and then have the danglies to ask that much? It'll cost that much to fix it. Sorry, rant over.

Seller did say that the price would only go up

Not the first time I've seen an RD offered as an RD 135. Very popular in Brazil but I've never seen one here in the U.S.

Not sure why anyone would
