This is beyond a really good deal. These are fantastic bikes. I had one. Selling it was one of many stupid bicycle deals I've made. I'd suggest anybody not familiar with Heron do a little homework. You'd be hard pressed to find one in this condition as well. If I was in the market I'd pay that for the frame alone and consider the parts a bonus. There's a reason you don't see these for sale very often.
