i helped built this bike. it is in very good shape, has brand new wheels, new tires, and is pretty damn light. excellent ride. i would fully back this bike and the guy selling it. the only thing negative about it is the "sevicable BB." it is unsealed, so if you know how to overhaul BB's, it is great, otrherwise i would recommend getting a new one sometime in the future (in a year or 2). (this one was overhauled and regreased before it was installed).
