Subject: RE: Ritchey Mountain Bikes- NEED ADVICE ASAP All I can say is WOW! That bike was showroom quality. There was not a single scratch on it. Absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, it was TINY. Like, my 5 foot tall finance's bike is the same size. The guy was 5' 4", and I think it was too small for him. Not good for an almost 34" inseamer like me. It was a marroon/purple color. It was awesome. Only thing, it had a sram X9 rear derailleur. It was a 9 speed too. Really, really nice. He was going to throw in nice SIDI shoes and a helmet too. I asked him how much he wanted, and he said he didn't know. So I told him that I was going to offer him 150, and that I had "done research" and that I was told it wasn't worth more then 200- you should have seen him, the life sucked right out of him. Even in the twighlight I knew he was forlorn (not mad at me, but I think he really believed me). I think he was hoping it was worth 500 or something. Honestly though, on Ebay, it would sell for at least 400, almost sure. If I had the cash I would have bought it to sell. Absolutley show room quality. Damn! Too bad, it would have been perfect- even the shock was like new! Thanks for the help! |
