Hello there, I am very interested in your bike. I have not been riding for a long time and since I am going on a long vacation I would love a bike to take with me so that I could start back biking. Would you be willing to lower your price a bit to $1155
This would be a great bike to take on vacation with you! I really wouldn't like to go much less than $1500 though because I've put a lot of money into extras (the crank, brakes, and wheels alone were $900).
The highest I can go is $1250 considering I have to purchase pedals for it as well. 
I have a pair of peddles from another bike that I'll throw in if you'll come up to $1400.
$1300 and I will pick it up right now.
Meet me in the middle at $1350 and you've got yourself an amazing bike at an amazing price!
