Yeah but you get two - count 'em, two - Kryptonite locks with it!
That's the problem with custom bikes - they are custom sized for you, and then you want to sell it and say "if you are an inch or two taller or shorter you should be comfy on it". Hellooo? Is that what the builder told you when he sold you the "custom" bike?
Yeesh.

Just kiddin around...
" I spent about $2,000 total on this bike and I have treated it like my own child."
"Tires are definately worn and bike has been sitting in storage for a while ..."
"Tires are definately worn and bike has been sitting in storage for a while ..."
And this...
"I have never ridden it a single time when i did not get at least one compliment on it from a total stranger"

yes, except this is not a custom bike. It's just a showroom stock bike with a bunch of new parts added on. Even with everything there, he's trying to get every last dollar he put into the bike out of it. Good luck buddy.

It definitely is custom. As in he customized a stock KHS track bike with about $2000 worth of upgrades! Heck, my converted Miele is custom then ain't it?

I kinda figured "custom" meant non-stock parts.
In that case, I have a custom Langster for sale... $2000, I put Speedplay pedals on it. It's custom, dammit. I'll even throw in a Kryptonite lock, for god's sake.

That seat angle IS a hoot. Consider you are doing a lot of climbing in San Fran.
Come on guys, he is including a PATCH REPAIR KIT in the price! Can't you see the value-added items included in the asking price?

I honestly don't understand why someone would put that kind of money into a low-end track-for-street frame. I mean if you're going to spend $2G, why not start with a nice frame that won't just turn people off later with "Ewww, a Flite 100... Whatever."
But it's not my bike, so good luck pallie.
