So your suggestion is to build my rating up first (which could take months/years??) or find someone with a good feedback rating to sell it for me (which probably won't happen)?

Maybe if I swapped the cinelli bars with a Northroad she would ride it!! Can't pry her away from the three speeds.
Buy some cheaper bikes. Get frames that aren't known but have some decent parts on them. Part out the bikes and build your feedback that way.

Research your parts so you know of what you are selling. Clean and polish those parts till you can see your face in them. Take the time and care to get good photos of the parts. Give detailed, concise descriptions. Be sure to point out scratches, rust, chips, etc. that a buyer will most definitely notice once he's got it and then be peeved and hit you with negative feedback.


Whatever it takes to get your wife to ride, do it. If she's happy, she may decide not to count frames in the garage for a while.
