Well, not exactly a newbie here, but I have to say, after having a few bikes with Helicomatics, I would rather not pay for the wheels in this case. The rest of the bike - okay. So, 200, I offered the guy. No deal. So how 'bout meeting in the middle - 225? Nope, he won't budge. Plus, he had this same bike up for sale last summer, I think for 275. I offered him 225 then as well. It didn't sell. And its 75 miles one way from Baton Rouge.
