Ok, I decided to keep this a double and get new quick release wheels that aren't rusted and, of course, that I can easily remove. My new quote is $280! And that doesn't include a seat or fenders. The price includes:
handlebars
stem
grips
brakes
brake lever
brake cable and housing
shifters
wheels
tires
tune-up
labor
Does this sound reasonable? The quote was $180 to have a tuneup, new tires and change to a triple so I was thinking they would be about the same cost. Then I went back and noticed he didn't quote the new handlebars on the first quote like I thought he had. I was hoping to keep it under $200 since I'm not doing the work myself...maybe I should try? Or just keep the handlebars, shifting and brakes as is and just replace the wheels, tires and get a tune-up? Any thoughts? What should I prioritize from a budget standpoint? TIA!
