I'm still trying to resit the urge to buy this thing. Kid emailed me today and said he still had it, other buyer didn't come through. This was after I told him I couldn't spend more than $400, so that's the price I guess.

I almost just offered to by this Chinese sport bike http://topeka.craigslist.org/mcy/2622980121.html

He emailed me some pictures. The damage didn't seem that bad and it has less than a 1000 miles on it. I was thinking I could clean it up and re-sell it next spring for a little profit. Sure is cool looking but not really my style.

Re: Check this out.

I saw the valve cover off of one of those, the valve springs look like a spring off of a garage door! One end hits on the head then it wraps around a steel bar and then the other end lands on top of the valve, really strange.

Aren't Chinese bikes basically impossible to get parts for?
