He has built that sort of bike that, if you plan on keeping it forever, is great. But, even at the break-even price, you aren't likely to sell it.<br /><br />I suspect that he is hoping for offers. I find it hard to believe that he thinks anyone will pay custom-bike prices for a bike like this, no matter what the parts-spec. <br /><br />By the way, Sunrace thumb shifter? I know Grant Petersen sells them through Rivendell, but they are still cheap POS shifters, and not something to list on the specs of a $3500 bike!<br /><br />Anyway, like I told Doohickey, he only has to find one sucker in order to make the sale of a lifetime.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989502925369231042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21208332.post-41555821369142445142009-08-13T04:35:11.003-06:002009-08-13T04:35:11.003-06:00I thought the $1000 Bianchi Pistas on E-Bay were a...I thought the $1000 Bianchi Pistas on E-Bay were a rip off,but a $3500mixte,come on!Maybe it was supposed to be $350, that would have been a little more acceptable.frankenbikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765756099454944162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21208332.post-13711124761795428312009-08-12T23:40:13.881-06:002009-08-12T23:40:13.881-06:00I think I saw the exact same bike on Etsy a while ...I think I saw the exact same bike on Etsy a while ago.

Dave Moulton's bikes go for way less than that ebay, albeit he didn't make mixtes.Halnoreply@blogger.com
