i cringe to think of the number of cannondale tracks that were fgfs'd door'd and otherwise destroyed to death in the last three years... methinks it could very well account for a 350 price increase.

knockback some beers plus deal to buyback at full return rate to me would be total greenlight on heftily discounted friend rate.

i mean... as long as it isn't damaged in the meantime and he can kick you back the 500 or so you'd pay him for it, you're doing him a solid by holding his bike for him... plus you get to ride a sweet bike in the meantime. win/win. and if not, he gets money and the peace of mind that his beloved possession is giving someone close to him joy. win/happy.

just don't offer him sixty bucks and a handjob for it. be reasonable.

also, regretting not checking this thread earlier for hilarious cheezburgrs.
