hey there are numbers now, that helps.

being better off is relative. I have bikes that i couldbt sell for the $ i habe spebt on them. Is that a bad decision?
from an investment persepctive, yes its a bad decision. But from an enjoyment perspective, its an excellent decision.

You can see online what $500 will buy you. It isnt much. You are probably better off spending the $400 to get your bike working. This all assumes you like it and it fits great(which should be correct since ypu just bought it).

as for selling it...i would think itd be a tough sell to make for $150. Maybe not, but inwouldnt thinknit would garner a bunch of interest as its missing a shifter and needs a wheelset. Thats too significant for most people to mess with.
