Background:

I bought this bike April 2006 and rode it VERY LITTLE! It just didn’t fit me as well as my Jekyll, so it mostly hung in the basement.

This bike replaced a LARGE 2005 Prophet 4000 that didn’t fit me very well either (not sure why I couldn’t get this bike to work for me). I kept many of the high end parts from the 4000 and put them on this bike (FSA carbon crank, CrossMax, etc…), which explains why many of the parts are listed as “NEW”.

I’m one of those oddballs that prefer Dual Control (STI) over Rapid Fire, so I’m not using the 2007 XTR shifters or brakes that came on my Carbon Rush. The new XTR rapid fire is sweet though (thank SRAM for putting the pressure on). The brakes and shifters are bringing between $400-$600 on EBAY.

So if you are one of the majority that prefer rapid fire – this upgrade is a very good deal for you and makes this a very high-zoot bike.

ERRATA:

If you bid and are blocked, contact me and I can put you on the approved bidder list.

Check out my ME page and my feedback if you want a better feeling of who you are dealing with, and my expectations from buyers.

Excerpt:

If you have LITTLE… NO… or BAD FEEDBACK, or if you have left BAD FEEDBACK FOR OTHERS, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING ON MY STUFF!

I’ve generally found that anyone willing to give me their phone number is cool. Having a chat almost always makes me comfortable.

IF YOU WIN AND HAVEN’T CONTACTED ME, SHIPPING COULD BE DELAYED FOR A LONG TIME AS YOU WILL NEED TO CONVINCE ME THAT YOU ARE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE.

I’ve had really cool buyers so far, and I want to keep it that way!

FUNDED PAYPAL PREFERRED!

For most of us there are 2 basic types of PayPal, the one that is free and the one that charges the recipient around 3% for each transaction.

PERSONAL - which doesn't charge for accepting money, BUT IT ONLY ACCEPTS CASH FROM OTHER PAYPAL ACCOUNTS. Also only allows $1,000 per month. This is the one I advertise as accepting, and the one I prefer. If you have a smoking reputation, know what you are doing, beg and plead in advance of bidding, talk to me over the phone, generally make me confident I know where to send my hit man, I may let you pay my premier account.

PREMIER/BUSINESS - accepts all types of payment. Besides the fees, the BIG problem with this is security. Just because you get someone's credit card doesn't mean you won't get screwed! If the payer is not PayPal verified and you send the item to their confirmed address, than the credit card company and PayPal are not on the hook if the charge is later found to be fraudulent. It is convenient to have this account because the fee on small transactions is negligible and you significantly increase the number of potential bidders. You are not supposed to advertise that you accept the credit card type then try to get paid on your personal account. This rule makes sense if you give it some thought; basically you are trying to steal the fee from PayPal after PayPal may have helped you get more bidders, and therefore a higher price for your item.

I don't want the headaches that accepting credit cards can bring, so I make it very clear that PayPal bidders must fund their accounts. Then I make exceptions if I’m comfortable that the person exists.
