It looks like you have some options for selling your awesome Quickbeam (slightly too small for me, thankfully for my wallet). 1. Drive 7 hours (14 hours round trip, yikes!) and sell it to Bill L. 2. Cheapen it up, drop the price, sell the expensive stuff, and clear the same amount 3. Keep dropping the price, and it WILL sell! What is a hundred dollars or two or three when what you are looking for is the peace from a slightly smaller bike stable!!
