I think part is they are tubulars....clinchers sell better (although I did see some clinchers as well).

The other side of the coin is the high starting price...I bet if they started at $100, he would be up to 600+ right now....that's how ebay tends to go....priced too low or too high initially, and you get little if any bids.

Plus I'm not sure how many people know who fetish cycles is, and go for the common name stuff like easton or reynolds.
