I do hate the ad, calling it a grupo. Geez. On the other hand, beautiful frame. Should ride just fine with that mix of parts. I wouldn't be surprised frame and headset alone are worth asking price.

And it is OK to overpay for a bike as long as it fits your budget. I have overpaid for stuff on occasion (hard to believe but its true), and I have no regrets. When I buy to resell, then I get more focused on price. I have different rules for keeper stuff.


Check the seller's feedback and make sure he has positive feedback on selling and packing bicycles. Doing it right is involved and I've seen bike shops do a poor job of it.


Tesch bikes HAVE sold on ebay, complete bikes from $800 to $1500 (I have access to Terrapeak that gives two years sales history).
