It includes the optional "How Do You Shift This Damned Thing?" front derailleur adjustment.



Agree, very likely stolen. Only 100 miles and grungy bar tape?

Ummm, sure.

I thought stolen at first; but then resided to 'impulse buy.' Buyer then determined that although AC sales person said its the 'best bike,' cycling is still hard.

Another - why?

They take the chain off while not in use to make sure the spring in the derailleur doesn't get worn prematurely.

would anyone actually pay the asking price?

I've thought about listing my wilier zero.6 on ebay for $10000 just for fun. (I'd be really sad if someone actually bought it)

There's a fool born every minute

You'd think a 14k bike would have fresh bar tape. Suspect
