Track bike built around 1972 by frame builder Ernie Atikinson, for himself. Perfect condition. Ernie tells me he built the frame, put it in the attic and it hung there until I bought it about a year ago. Who's Ernie? (Ernie can be found in a '70's edition bicycling magazine as one of twenty top US frame bulders.) He's a good guy; now lives in Oregon. It's a cool bike. Any number of you have seen it. I've got a signed bill of sale from Ernie. The only damage on the whole bike is a scratch on the front rim.

Ridiculously awesome bike. Sale forced. Sucks to sell it. $1000.00
