responding to a rather interesting email... CR listees
I am asking for a little help here, earlier I posted a Zeus road bicycle. I
have since gotten an email which is a little harsh suggesting that I accept
a far lower price for the bicycle. I took the email as a little rude.

> How's $150? Most of the parts aren't even Spanish and you're not even
selling a complete bike. Seems a bit pricey.

I hope the individual who sent me the email isn't a member because I
surely won't send something worded as he did which may come across as rude.
So I would like some honest opinions from the group. Please send offlist if
you wish. Am I off base on what I am looking at and what I am offering? I
know what I have invested and what I would hope to get out of the bicycle. I
feel with the Zeus frameset and other parts that I was being fair. But I
would like to know how other members feel. Please let me know your honest
opinions. Here's the link:
