Good Deal on Frame?
Hey guys,
Was checking out CL and found this ad for a Airborne Flyte SRS3 road frame for $160....
Quoted:
"This bike frame and parts are quite literally brand new. I bought them from flyte here on ebay, and I really love everything, including the paint job, the welds, and the weight. I admired the quality of the bike so much that I went ahead and bought a new arsenal titanium frame from flyte as an upgrade. I briefly contemplated keeping both frames because they are so nice, but I decided that I am just too broke to do this. My loss is your gain! I have never built this frame up (With the exception of putting on the handlebars to see the fit, but no bottom bracket or anything like that).
This auction includes the frame, which is in flawless condition, a nice stem, handlebars, seatpost, headseat, and seat collar. The frame is totally new and flawless, while the other parts are only lightly used.
Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, I am including all of my warranty and registration information, which is all unfilled, so you even get to take advantage of flyte's 3 year warranty!
PLEASE do NOT hesitate to ask me any questions or mention things I may have left out. I am always happy to email pictures or information. I want to maintain my excellent feedback. I always ship within 1 day of auction close. Happy bidding!
Hey everybody! READ THIS!!!! I just noticed this morning that there is a tiny scratch of about one inch in length and 1/16 in width on the bottom of the downtube right near the bottom bracket. Please take this into account when you buy, I want everyone to be informed. That disclaimer stated, the scratch is so small, I couldnt get a picture of it so I just drew an arrow on my existing photo, indicating the location. Also, No one would ever see the scratch unless pointed out to them directly. Thanks for reading!"
please let me know if its a good deal or not...
thanks,
raphael

Considering he paid $179 plus $ 50 shipping, I would say 160 is a good price.

Sounds good to me, but if you're being sold on the warranty you might want to check out this thread: https://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=220205
