i wasn't aware that the mercier/khs stock was also what spicer used, but my question is this: why is that frame so goddamn expensive?!? buying the mercier complete (obviously where the different in price comes for COMPLETE mercier v.s. khs) is only 3small. 25 bucks for two wheels (tires and tubes), bars, stem, hs, cranks, bb, etc? WOAH. at that price i'd rather get a mark v.

no, i'm bidding on it..and by putting the link on..its advertising it! =o

and i just got outta a big crash, the driver escaped( almost lost both my legs).. so i gotta pay for this.

the help was greatly appreciated, you just misunderstood me.

You will probably break even, with ebay/paypal fees, etc. Looks like the seller is selling the frame/fork, and the wheels...doubt he'll get much more than $300 for that, then subtract $15 of fees...
