I actually like it a lot better than some other bikes posted. It's a good price too.

I sold a 2008 frameset for close to a thousand dollars not to long ago.



That's a good price....

Buy it, remove stickers, sell for more

They're ugly but they're just stickers. I think polka dots would look okay, but not that color.

I saw it on the ATL craigslist too. I gotta say, not a huge fan of the chicken pox. That bike needs an oatmeal bath.

Haha, yeah, I saw this ad earlier. I dont think it looks too bad.

I just can't imagine putting that many stickers on a bike and it not looking tacky. I mean, even if it were painted on, it would still be a bit of an eyesore, but the stickers, I would think, just look cheap.

The same bike with crappier wheels sold on eBay last week for $1800 and this guy is selling it for $800. Why are you here, posting, and not on your way to this guy's house with $800 in hand?

If I had 800 in cash. And if I weren't at work.

Just checked my checking account ...

Turns out I DO have the scratch to buy the bike.

But I would be bankrupt pretty much til pay day and seeing as how I just got paid on Friday, I am not sure that is a good idea.

Sadly it looks better with all those stickers than pretty much 99% of the concepts posted on this very board.

What is wrong with riding a stock bike though?

11-18-08, 08:23 AM
great deal. buy it if only to flip it. if you parted it out like jdms categorized you could easily make a pretty nice profit.
devilshaircut
11-18-08, 08:33 AM
Flip it? What exactly about it needs flipping?

Taking the stickers off???
walking disease
11-18-08, 09:46 AM
Buy it for cheap then part it out and make money off of it.

Flipping - "The rapid turnover of a piece of property by one person who buys it for a certain price then sells it soon thereafter for more."

Or buy it and ride it, it's a nice bike.

The idea that you have to improve the property before you sell it is implicit in the flipping process.

It's built up a lot more proper than most Concepts on the road, which is to say stock > the bull**** people do to "trick out" their Concepts.

I was expecting some travesty like BMX junior bars, 24" front wheel, zero forward stem, platform pedals...
