Alan: I went back and looked at your original post (I find it useful to include the original FS post and photos in bumps) and it looks like a very nice bike and actually a good deal especially with rack and bags.
But I've found over the years that demand will swell and dwindle; you might list the bike in a few months and find several offers; OTOH, there are dry spells. Also, I've found out literally dozens of times, that unless you adamantly buy and build cheap and used, it is very rare to get close to one's money back on the sale of a bike or frame. I seem to recall buying and then a couple of years later selling on a Ram frameset for about $600; granted I was owner # 2, if not #3, but this was a mid-curve 58 cm frame of the later model that takes 35s and fenders, and the frameset was in good condition. Demand for a 64 is bound to be less and more sporadic. I also recall selling a 56 cm, original model, original owner Sam Hill, nicely augmented with front low rider bosses, and finding less demand than I'd wished -- I finally sold it as a well built complete bike (but not as nicely built as yours!) for, IIRC, $1,200. This bike might interest someone on the Boblist, which I think is considerably bigger than the RBW list though there is great overlap; perhaps you are not a member of that list? I know that the Boblist listminders disapprove of joining just to sell, but this bike ought to interest so many that perhaps they'd make an exception. (Steve: are you listening?) Aside: If you ever consider selling the 175, 42/30, 50.4 bcd Sugino chainset, I'd be interested in talking.
