Sorry. These pics arent that great. They were taken in my livingroom and there isnt the greatest lighting. Tomorrow or monday, I will get some sweet shots out on the trail. Its a 2005 cannondale prophet 1000. Its been at the bike shop I work at for two years.

jiiiim even easier is on photobucket copy the bottom information, the one that has "[img ] and [/img ]". Then just put it right in the body of your post.

I know exactly what he paid and it was definitely not less than half of retail.

It sounds like the op got an exceptionally good deal on the bike because it sat around so long.

Yeah, it's probably the most unethical thing a shop employee can do. Wholesale prices, employee purchases and things like that should not be common knowledge.
