Hi Joe, my $0.02 It seems like two sets of wheels will come with the bike? If so put that in your FS description too. Its a reasonable asking price as a starting point, since it also has lighting and a generator hub. You will likely get some bites if you are willing to ship, or help with arranging packing and shipping from your LBS.
