Hi Bill,

Thanks for the tip. I've been in touch with that seller (who was very
cooperative), and from the pictures he sent the bike seems to be in
excellent condition. However, before I take that leap there are some
other leads I want to check out, including a couple of Slipstreams.
I'm thinking I'd like the higher bottom bracket on that bike, among
other things. Or, if a bike pops up near me, I can save the cost of shipping.
