Thats why Im glad I got my B4 from a bike company.I was also leary about spending big bucks over Ebay,but when its from a bike dealer,with a shop and showroom,its a little more comforting than dealing with an individual.
I paid $1900 and it needed tires,forkseals and shipping was rough,$500 from New Hampshire to California.But it is a very clean little,15K mile old 1991.I was also drawn to it because the bike was nearly stock and appears to have never been dropped or riden to its potential.....900 miles a year,he probably only rode it a few months each summer,whereas I ride several times a week,year round.
If you hit the mid three thousand buck range in the end,and its running perfectly and ready to ride,your not doing tooo bad.Sure,someone else will always have got a killer deal over yours,but at least you dont owe 15,000 bucks to the bank for a new bike you wont actually own until its almost worn out!
