Beautiful bike, looks really well done.  The buy it now of $6500 is a top of the market price.  I hope he gets it.

Its my bike.  If you watched the auction, you will see It didn't sell.  Although, I restored the bike, Im not a Simplex Expert.  As usual, I have a small fortune into the restoration.  My reserve was $5k.  The best I was offered was $4,100.00

What should I expect for it?  Anyone here interested?

  Your bike is really nice!  I was watching the auction, curious to see what it would bring.  While I think your Buy It Now price of $6500 was overly optimistic, your current asking price is more in line with the market.

  I have observed one issue with shifter bikes over the last 10 years or so. That being, they don’t bring the money that the later Automatics do. I suspect this is caused by the ease of riding the automatic vs shifter bike.  I have sold several nicely restored automatics at the VMBC show in Portland, and that seems to be the place to get one sold.

Good luck with the sale!
