Plus once the fad is over it goes back to its realy value of parted out and the rest taken to be recycled before the wife has a fit.

There are odd deals that are good. But he's a student the fad will be over by the time he graduates and sells it at least with a new bike that doesn't need anything he will get a little back out of it.

Plus personally I think they are atrociously ugly.
