yeah you always make more selling piecemeal and parting out but the hassle factor is 10x dealing with shipping and stuff. I had a giant sell-a-thon a few years back and sold some stuff for others it was like 70 items I listed that took an entire day to do then all the 10,001 questions then shipping all 70 items took a good week to get out. If you buy a nice bike "halo bikes" really don't need any upgrades and leave it 99.9% stock you can flip the bike 18mo to 24mo later and not get screwed since i don't get any "team" deals i do get kicked in the teeth a lot more than those guys that get a bike shop team hook up but at the same time i'm not forced into a bike i don't want either. I know a lotta folks just buy more bikes and never sell off any of the old and have a garage or house full i figure if i'm not gonna ride it or use it it gets sold quickly. pretty soon i'll be with out a SS and CX bike but those two were my least ridden anyway but this...P-29ER Would make a great future SS bike project even though I've never been a fan of steel bikes It is a ritchey :mrgreen:
yeah i mega-homeboy-hook-up the guy $800 for the whole with with a syncros carbon fiber fork and the reba rebuilt lately and some chi-chi carbon wheels. I coulda made more $$$ to finance a AR-15 purchase but i figure a friend in need i can help out and hopefully karma will come to me the bike was an eBay project bike anyway. i get a kick outta scavenging eBay for bike deals and slowly building up a bike that is the way I used to get bikes trolling eBay my biggest victory was the thanksgiving day total score of a Cannondale system six SRM I got for $2000 and then later sold two years later for $3000K this was my last bike before the Venge The reynolds wheels and zero gravity brakes were good if you didn't really have to slow down quickly i blame the brakes more than the wheels and swissstop pads
