I've had this for about five years. I bought it for a project I was working on but things change and that bike is long gone. Story I was told on this is that it was taken off a brand new bike in 1996 and put in storage. That bike got a carbon tank and this one sat in a box for 20 years. From the condition, I believe it. Three small nicks but that's all I can see. Otherwise looks brand new. In Los Angeles. Prefer not to ship but maybe we can work something out.
