The problem is that most sellers do not list their telephone number, so
you have to win the bid in order to establish contact with them. If you
can't contact them, you can't arrange to see it either. I guess I'm
just going to have to keep my eyes open.

Alot of the sellers will resond to e-mails and would possibly supply a
land line number if you were to say to them what you want it for. After all
they want to sell the bike for as much as possible right. If they are
honest then they should be all for your seeing it in the flesh.
