FWIW, chickie would probably make more parting the bike out. Still nowhere near what she want to get for it, but more than she would selling the bike as a whole.

Note to builders: you will never get out of your bike what you put into it if you're paying retail or even shop "sale" prices.

Your missing something. Most likely the wheels. How did you get 1300? The wheels are probably 500-800 on their own.
Is this a joke?

People don't seem to get that if you buy a complete bike and add new wheels and cranks, your bike isn't now worth the bike + the new parts, it's worth the bike - all the old parts you paid for in the initial price, THEN you add the new parts. Then you subtract a bunch for the fact that it's used.

I sure hope so. Although closer inspection reveals these are 700 CC wheels. Since they're motorized, maybe that's not so ridiculous.

In that case I have a great set of cutsom Velocity wheels I could sell you for a scant 375.
