So here's what you do..."save" the seller, check back and see if he ever sells again or even buys. Betting you will find the answer is no. Also the odds of that bike getting shipped correctly (doubt if seller could disassemble it in that condition-which is always worse then crappy pictures show) are huge. Give your $500 in hand a big hug.
Thats what I was thinking. At least the stress of waiting a week to see if I get a bike in useable condition or if I get a bike at all is gone
