I'd guess this being Jan's bike added 50% to the selling price ($900-1000 +
50%). This is based on previous sales I've seen. That said, you could do a lot
worse for $1400.
It should build up into a great bike and make someone happy for a long, long
time.
Cheers!

my 1997 Riv Waterford-built A/R was , I think, 1225 for base price - 1
colour + 100 for cream head tube + 25.00 for my name. But I could check the
stud book at home :)

I wasn't accounting for inflation, and Jan might not have paid much more
than that. My JS built Riv Road Standard was $1225 (or something like
that) in '98-'99. Also, used ≠ new...

Accounting for inflation, $900 in 1995 equals $1,444 in 2017, so unless Jan
paid less than $900 back then, it did not sell for more than he paid for
it.

It depends on your perspective... Yes, you couldn't buy a new frameset
built like this one for that amount of moolah. Very few things increase in
value though, and it sold for more that Jan paid for it, so I would say it
was above market value. I am sure its provenance drove up the cost at
least
ha! yes, I forgot about that book!!! Not sure if that was the trigger
for my thought or what.
But is there such a concept (say, parallel to wabi-sabi), but for
historical presence?

Yes, on any given day, the auction market can vary. However, I would say
generally when you have a very special frameset,you will leave money on the
table one way or another if you sell it as a complete bicycle. But again,
Jan having advertised it on his blog, then having it reposted, certainly

Isn't there a Japanese word for exactly this phenomena? Please,
someone - I am digging around now to find this term
Probably not unreasonable...nice yellow colour and I bet it was well looked
after

If anyone wants to know when *not* to sell a bike, let me know. I have terrible
timing.
P.S. If anyone’s interested in a 1972 Cinelli Speciale Corsa, repainted by Joe
Bell and restored to near-show condition, let me know. I’m selling mine.

Agree - that's a screaming deal. I kind of wish I'd seen that one and

Thanks. There was a much earlier article in BQ or VBQ in which Jan compared
his Riv to his later bikes and described his changing tastes; wish I could
find that, since it contrasted Riv geometry with that which Jan is now
associated with. (For the record, I prefer the Riv geometry, as far as I
know

Grammar aside, I agree the bike was worth the final selling price. The fact
that Jan Heine was the seller might have helped generate interest and could
have played into how people decided to bid, but even without
I guess i don't see how that could be considered a high or artificially
driven-up price. It's still considerably less than any current, lugged
production frame - US or otherwise - and, in near perfect condition, has just
as much life left in it. It's also historically significant and more uni

What was the final hammer price? I agree, a fun color. I had a 1997 or 98
Ritchey Road Logic in a very similar shade of yellow.
