phil-thanks for responding. So, yes my business approach/model is to buy unwanted bikes and then clean, restore, refurbish, adjust, lubricate, replace, modify, repair them into ready to ride bikes. I started flipping bikes during college a few years ago and than this year began a LLC because this is my passion. Now aside from this Trek which I didn't do anything to yet because I am in the process of moving it will be gone over and lubed/greased/checked over prior to being sold. I rode it around the block as-is, gears/brakes felt okay. I'm like 5% of where I want to be, I'm looking for a space in the city that's not 10k a month!! As far as the LLC is setup I pay sales taxes and have the proper licenses etc...unlike many other resellers on CL and the like. I try and do it the right way. Here are some examples of bikes that I have completely restored like the 62' Dunelt or modified the Trek road bikes: I'm happy to answer any questions, cheers
