> Have many Bombadils come up for sale? Not a whole lot but I've seen a few. The small one you are thinking of maybe tilts my perception of value. I have a parallel tube 56cm Bomba, bought from Riv for $2000, and I do love it and will keep it. If I was ever forced financially to do a big liquidation, and decided to sell the Bomba, I'd anticipate taking a major hit. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Maybe the diago-bomba for $2500 will make mine really desireable!
