I'll keep the bike for a personal build for anything less than $299 because an Itallian ride in my size with heritage is worth that to me, but if one of the veloswapper's wants it for that price, out the door it goes. There's no shame in trying to refine and better my personal rides through flipping.....Flipping has built my personal stable..The agreement with the little lady is "1 comes in, 1 must go out, preferrably 2" The odds of somebody taking it are very, very, very slim, so I'll likely be building it and selling a Schwinn..... The last time I checked, this was a public forum, not a gossip inquisition
You are welcome to PM me or call if you'd like to discuss something
You misunderstand - I'm not stewing. But you've lied to me about more than one point (and badly) and I don't think it's right. Apparently you don't remember telling me that the Schwinn tandem belonged to your recently dearly departed sweet old grandfather (while I was down there looking at the Browning) and that you could never sell it as it had way too much sentemental value to you. I rarely mind missing a chance to buy something, but that wasn't true and that's not right.
You're lying to the good folk here by offering something for sale (regardless of expectation) and at the same time telling them you'll be keeping it and asking for help, and I don't think that's right either. Just be honest, I doubt anyone will mind. That's the last I'll say about it.
