$200..he is in the usa so it would be the same as some one wanting a fram in australia for like $500-600 bucks...check
jensonusa.com and beyondbikes.com some times they offer free postage usa wide, wheelworld.com also do that somtimes i think, + wheel world often have cheep frams like a kona stuff for that sort of money. but then there is the credit card thing needed to buy... :? can you C.O.D in the usa with these bike shops, since you live there, i recon they would do it, give em a call, or email they can only say no.
good luck...
just a thought he probably cant get warrenty on the GT cause of when they went out of buisness, all the bikes for that year lost there warrenty or some shit...
