I was a little nervous, but didn't have a whole lot in it. If it came down to it I would have been happy to break even, but this turned out to be a perfect match between the bike and what she needed and wanted it for. If I sat with it too long I was going to part it out and sell the parts on ebay since the entire bike was original Raleigh parts.
I don't suspect I will be flipping any more 2-speeds or step through's unless they are something special like you mentioned.
