Yea, I think that's exactly what I may end up doing. You may be correct in suggesting that most high-end bikes go for 50% of retail, however, it's really a matter of how much a person wants a particular high-end bike and let's face it, if the right person comes along for this particular bike, why wouldn't s/he pay 75% of retail vs. full price?
Anyway, I was hoping to use the cash toward a more standard road bike to take with me to Dubai as there are some great group rides there and the Hunq just won't fit the bill. Happy Trails!
