They sure hold their value... it has been about 10 years since I sold my Thebis. I bought an S & B Venice Beach trike which was under $1000. new, and I sold the Thebis for $1000.- so I thought it was a great deal. But the S & B would not tow a trailer and the value went down...down...down. Now- years later- I know it was a dumb deal!

My Thebis broke a U-joint so it had about 10 miles on it- no derailleur problems, nothing worn. Cost $100. to fix. Only problem I had was the nut behind the wheel.
