I tried educating him a bit about what it takes to restore and tune a bike he said he understood its all economics... but I would ask what he wanted for his bikes... he would say I don't know... I just don't want to get thrown under the bus.

As for the Tommaso... I did exactly that I taped on the frame and said this is steel... I was going to offer him $100 for the frame but didn't bother... he said he is going to have the shop he's been selling bikes to build it for him if he provides the parts. Its a 50cm frame and the guy was about 5'11".

I just need to let it go... maybe he will come to his sense and call me next week or maybe he will sell all his bike to the shop that will repair them poorly and sell them for way to much.
