Good buy?
Saw this on craigslist and it seems like a much better buy than buying the components to convert an old lotus frame that I already have. I just started riding again this summer, but this seem like basically what I would want at the end of the process except at a cheaper price. Thanks in advance for the input.

The price and the gearing both seem a little steep. I have seen lots of conversions listed around that price, I just don't know if they are actually selling.
