1) Show me.

2) So the guy would have to:

- Find a bike on local CL that is in his size and price range with the same race specs
- Find a buyer for his wheels that will pay what he wants (at least $200 more than the CL bike, right?)
- All right now. Not a week from now. Not a month from now. Not 6 months of wheeling and dealing. Right now.

What are the chances of that happening? If you fully expect that to happen...you are confirming that you are an idiot with very lofty expectations.
