What would you think / how would you respond if a seller sent you this bike? Or... a cautionary tale of buyer beware (pics)
Someone was confused that I've now got $2500 into this bike. If you count the "new" 1949 Schwinn I bought to replace it, and don't count the $500 I sold it for, then yes.

Yep, $150 is steep, but the bike shop actually did an amazing job. Their shipping quote through Bikeflights was $180 I think, but $130 was the best shipping cost I could find, via Shipbikes.com- BikesGuru

Thanks for the insights and spirited discourse Cabers. Yes, a learning experience indeed. In total nearly $1400 out of pocket with disassembly, boxing and shipping (and new parts) for the wisdom.
