Huh?
It says 6 days and no bids.
Also, that bike is ridiculous looking.

Haha, that's better.
Yeah, $225 seems like a pretty good deal.
Good buy, I say.

Looks like a nice setup, but the gearing is low for my taste. I'd swap that 39 for a 42 or even bigger unless you've got a lot of hills around.

yeah, I'm tired right now. I started typing that up but then started searching ebay for track frames. So, that phrase was in my head when I meant to say "complete bike".

Haha, I know people who live in the general vicinity of that trike.
I am considering buying it and paying the guy to drop it in their front lawn.

Good score on the Peugeot! Many more dollars would have been spend on those upgrades. Best parts are probably 1. rear wheel / cog 2. crank (though by no means "high end", you lucked out and got something intended for fixed / ss and in 165, nice for conversions) and 3. Turbo saddle...those rock.

Anyway, even if the frame were made of excrement this would be a good value in parts. (which it's not, it's a high quality frame).
