The reserve is probably irrationally high, Tig. The problem with an "artist" like this is that he Probably thinks the bike is worth more than the sum of its parts, as it includes his "glorious artistic input".

I seriously thought it was a wreck straight off the back of a flatbed at first...

Sure as hell looks like a wreck. Shit, I've seen bikes in wrecks look better than that.

I'd take it for a couple grand. As long as it's mechanically sound, it'll be well worth it. I happen to like the single sided swing arm... the rest is well... crap but I don't care about that.

You're probably right about that! We'll see after the auction is over if he sends me a message. Who knows, he may have had this bad boy up a few times already and is ready to make a deal.
