Never did I say the DB was a bad bike. If it fits, ride it.
My point is that most bikes are worth more as parts than as a complete bike. That's a fact of life. It's also a fact that the DB name has been tarnished in the eyes of the general buying public and most people looking for a quality bike on CL will see DB and think Huffy.
Sorry but true.
It's a nice bike but it doesn't fit.
STRIP it and part it out makes the most economical sense. Too bad.
