I purchased this bike about one year ago here on the TE boards, and I absolutely adore this bike, but it is just a bit too small. I am 5'6", this is probably best for someone 5'3"- 5'5". There are a couple little dings in the lettering from when I was learning how to use the clipless pedals, no crashes, just some tipping over into bushes and such. I posted a picture of the dings , which I believe adds a bit of character to the bike.
If you are just starting out, this will make an awesome bike, and give you years of pleasurable rides. I'll leave the pedals on if you need them (Shimano PD-M520 SPD) and give you my old cleats. I will also leave the Cateye computer on the bike.
Packing and shipping will cost $100 (I am in the Miami area if you wish to pick it up.)
