No worries! And there's no need to apologize. Lol! I'm the new kid on the block anyway. I'm just trying to see all the fantastic bikes everyone has. I love folding bikes and MiniVelos.

"will ship within 30 days after receiving cleared payment" makes me steer clear. Couple that statement with the shipping and you could be well outside the timeframe you might make a successful claim with paypal for non-delivered goods.

I asked to cancel my bid. I agree, this could put me in trouble with eBay. Forget about it!

Not bad. This is $205, it's supposed to be negotiable S&H. $180 by air, or $60 by sea. The seller is deceptive, and I'm about to file a complaint. I'm not paying the high price for shipping.

Ok, the bikes condition is almost excellent. It has no dents or bends, and has a minor scratch or 2. The seller has worked with me (finally) to get me the $60 S&H, and the purchase is covered under eBay's buyer protection. If it DOESN'T arrive by Oct I get a claim started and I get my $$$ back. I can deal with it to get my Bully!!! I'll install BB7's on it and enjoy the winter!!!

Good luck with that. I saw it,but didn't want to deal with the overseas stuff. BTW,you may also have to pay customs duty.
Are the hubs disc compatible? I know the frame is.

As for the hubs being disc compatible, I'm not sure. But I'm not worried - I can always hit up my LBS and get a great deal. No more IGH's for me tho,...MEH!!! LOL!!!

Update: disc compatible wheel set for $234.94
https://www.calhouncycle.com/productc...idcategory=258
my wheel set cost a little less than $400 to build up so I think this is a bargain.

I thought you remembered from our previous disc brake wheel conversion back when I was building my bike. The stock hubs are not disc brake compatible, I think the wheels are 36h and the rear hub has a 7 speed freewheel (thread on). I built new wheels but if I were you, I would get those wheels we found at Calhoun Cycles (I think thats it) for <$250 for the pair I will see if I can find you the link. Also pick up some fr5 or speed dial levers the stock ones are crap. Also the rear spacing is 135mm
Update: disc compatible wheel set for $234.94
20", ISO 406mm recumbent wheel [disc or rim brakes]
my wheel set cost a little less than $400 to build up so I think this is a bargain.

Look up Bellitte Bikes in Queens, NY. I'm sure you'll be pleased. It might be a bit of a trip for you, but the $ savings is worth it IMO.
