John,
What size is it. Supply and demand plays a huge factor. Also a big variable
is full build or f/f/hs/bb etc. if you are looking to replace this bike with a
larger frame of some kind the parts/build could be kept and meet your needs
better than whoever may be purchasing the full bike.
T
It varies. I have both a 65cm and 69cm single top tube Homer Hilsen. But the
general rule is the 67, 69, and 71’s had double top tubes for sure.

Usually each or both are correct from the perspective they are examining the

I would value it between $2500-$3000 also. Only problem being a lot of
individuals who want to spend that kind of money want something new (even if
not better). The biggest hit would be the beautiful build (full builds) just

I agree with Roberta it definitely looks like it belongs on the Clem L. The
red is definitely attention generating initially I thought a more subdued color
would be desired.
Now the color symbolizes for me that the owner is a bike lover first but open

I disagree with Ash completely. Looks awkward, That big red rear wheel looks
ridiculous and clown 🤡 like. I am sure this bike will not last long before you
