Quenton Conant

The seller's name is Nikolay Patsula phone#(503)750-3692. From what I know of him, he tries to rebuild period bike and sell them.
I think he said he built that one with Record Nuevo, I dunno.

I doubt the bike is stolen, from a few conversations it seems that he knows his stuff for bikes in the 70's/80's.

I'm selling him my frame/fork/BB at a super low price just because I want it gone, and he's the only take this time of year, unless any of you want it (racers get priority).

My Stretchy Pants

Two of these bikes were for sale by a guy with a Slavic accent at the
Recyclery two swap meets ago. I looked at them. This could be one of
them. I think it is one of them. They were pretty nice but they didn't
seem to be moving. I kind-of wanted one but didn't have the money. The
seller wanted $800 for each, much like the seller on Craigslist.

Whether that anecdote assuages the suspicious' suspicions or just makes
the seller more suspect, I don't know. But, that's my story.

I mean, the seller's spelling - or maybe tiping - is poor. That in
itself says a lot about the legitimacy of their claim to the bike,
doesn't it? Or at least paints a target on their forehead, obviously.

It's an aluminum Guerciotti made by Alan. My guess is the person selling it
does own it specifically because of this. A typical know-nothing thief would
more likely advertise it as a Guerciotti, not an Alan.

The frame is a glued/bonded Aluminum frame from the mid to late 80's (maybe early 90's). It could be an Alan or a Vitus although it's tough to tell from looking at the pictures.
