Honesty is the key to life.. If I am buying a bicycle to part out and the seller asks why do I want the bike, I tell him the truth..95% of them have just shrugged and sealed the deal. I dont part out all bikes I buy. I wouldnt part out a bike thats 80% or more complete. I have a 65 Schwinn Corvette 2 speed automatic that I cant ride comfortably anymore..Sure I could have parted it out. A guy offered me 150 bucks for the real hub alone..I said "I would only sell this bike complete" not to make a million bucks off of it but to keep the bike the way it is as a survivor.. So to a certain degree.. I HATE THOSE GUYS TOO! lol
