$500 labor charge for building an MB???

[darwin]

500$ for a ride? OK I think its cool if the seller can get it for a wallyworld bike and a chinese happy motor, but the quality comes in the different kits and whos putting it together............I have in my DE Honda setup about 1200$ and thats being conservative. You know what?] it was 66 here today and the honda fired up on the 1st pull after sitting for 6 months..............TO BE CONTINUED. iTS SPRING TIME.

Meh, what is the average price of a decent bicycle? $500-1k? I’d say. I don’t think I could put a rolling chassis together for under $400.

my labor to build is usually between $120 and $180 - if you need the kit too, that's another $155

but if I buy a bike and build it for sale, it's usually up around $430 or more because I add in about 3 or 4 hours of riding time to get all the adjustments for chain & cable stretch done and tightening mounts due to bolt stretch done

also on a bike for sale, I remove all the circus wagon decals from whole bike
