The original frame looks great! However, when you start making up replacement fenders and painting them, they can not really be called original.

$2500 sounds like a good starting point. I paid almost that for a fully repainted and rechromed one that I believe used to belong to Jamie.

Speaking of Jamie, how was the bike show?

Being stuck here in Winnipeg, I usually look forward to somebody posting a few pictures.

???A 75 bike collection sounds a lot like me, but I only want to downsize to about 40.
