Let's get this straight - you expect to sell the bike on Craigslist for $300 why? Because someone else said he has $300 into his bike? Because you have that much into it? It will sell for what a willing buyer will pay, not what you think it's worth. Then you want to get an STI equipped bike, probably 10 or more years newer as well, for only $100 more. That bike is not worth $300, period, and if you get someone to pay that for it after you have yourself complained that things do not work all that well then you are not being honest or ethical.
