Hey Brandon-
Welcome! I’m in the process of building my first Homegrown (a 2000 Pro), it took me a long time to find one that wasn’t beat up or cost a small fortune. I would hold off on making the sale until the tires arrive and you have gotten a couple rides logged. Your buddy knows what you have and the reputation that comes with these Homegrowns. He can wait a little longer so you can be sure about interest in making the sale. Me, I’ll never sell mine… it’s a keeper! Good luck and have fun enjoying the bike! Peace, -D-
