The stock wheels that come on the TT Pro have held up great for the last 2 years. I should expect the same from the Open Pros correct? With the additional weight loss too?

Should I...
Buy a Cinelli MASH Histogram Complete off of Craigslist for $450 or pass up what could be the best deal I'll ever get on a Cinelli to save some money?

Especially if you consider that you love the frame so much that you might end up buying it full price later on.

HOWEVER, if the seller is just a moron and it's around a 52cm, I'll buy the frameset off of you for 450

This.
Also make sure to check for any structural damage. Considering that a new frameset alone is about $1000 or so, selling a complete bike for $450 just doesn't make sense, even if it is used, unless of course there's something dodgy about it.

I'm looking around to see if it was stolen and can't find anything... So, I'm trying to make it happen. It seemed too good to be true because it's the Histogram Complete from the Mash Storeroom that retailed for $1800. I'm still trying to get it figured out though because this guy is such a horrible communicator.
YK_ it's a 53cm so if I get a hold of it, we might be able to do some business! I'll let you know.
Thanks for the input everyone. And ya, even if I don't end up liking it that much I could flip this thing quick in Seattle for a solid profit margin.
Rock on.

I am going to n+1. I am debating on how I want to do it.
Option 1: Land Shark Track Shark for myself
Option 2: Land Shark Road Shark for my sqrlfriend
I currently own 4 bikes and my sqrl seldom rides her only bike so neither option will see a lot of ride time. I just want another Land Shark. What do?

Should I build up my purple All City Nature Boy with all black components or all silver components?
