This could be the start of something big for Greyhound.
The seller and I negotiated a package deal. I asked after the negotiation for the price of shipping, if he lets me know I'll post it here. The bike is going from Boca Raton, Florida to Reading, Pennsylvania. The shipping price played an important factor in buying the bike, especially for a bike that isn't very valuable in the first place. I also told the seller he could keep the new tires he just put on the bike to lower the price, I'll install gumwalls.
Since this project started here on BikeForums, is it worthy of starting a new thread to document the progress? I have a background in automotive restoration and have restored a few AACA Grand National Champion cars for customers. I plan on treating the bicycle the same way.
Update:
Package weight was 36.5 lbs, Dimensions are 54" x 30" x 10", price was $63.60
