Saw this on a Whizzer that was listed on Craigslist. And I am not talking about the way the tank on the bicycle is made into a gas tank.

Outstanding shade tree engineering including the tank. Well done and an A if it actually rides OK and E for effort if it doesn't. If it was next door @ 1/10 what is being asked Wha? emoticon , I'd be tempted to find out which grade it gets.

An original running whizzer was sold last week at the Vintage bike swap in Boise for $2400. Had the correct WZ frame and lot's of goodies. The one's at the Mercum Auction in Chicago were selling for $4000-4500. That was more than the Lambrettas were selling for.

That's because everyone is Chicago is paying stupid money for vintage, which is good for sellers but bad for rational buyers like me
