Nice bike. I rebuilt that same bike for my son's campus bike.

As to your deal, I have no problem. That is the way cl works -- buyers and sellers set the rules within the scope of their economic power for commodities that are relatively unimportant, such as C&V bikes. That is pure free market, which should please the TeaPartiers among you. Also, that is why we have "regulations" when it comes to commodities that are necessary to life and business, like public utilities. The latter are not simple questions.
