Thanks for the encouragement, I'm going to stay the course. It's just frustrating when you feel like you've done all the right things; made the bike mechanically sound, made a full disclosure description of the bike with detailed photos, and offered it for a very fair price without even a crank low-****** response for 2 months. At least from the comments I've received here, I feel a bit relieved that it isn't something that I've done wrong. (It will not break my heart to keep it. Posting this thread has concentrated my mind on the bike and started me wondering if I 'really' want to part with it.)
