                Actually was alluding to maybe you being a little stratified

                  Yeah, but I'd have to rent a U-haul to pick them up in, and haul them back in. My tired little pickup wouldn't stand a chance. Factor in gas, rental, and insurance and it adds over $350 to the price tag. And that's only if the truck gets 15mpg..not likely. At 10mpg (more realistic) that figure would go well over $400.

                  Then of course, there's the lost work time. And the hassle of it all.

                  Add that to the cost of the bikes themselves and it stops being such a good deal. I'd just strip the bulk of them for parts to sell here and on Ebay. It's all about profit margin!

                    stratified?

                    On what level?
