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.

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.
