Well, I went and saw/rode the bike, it fit and the price was right so I pulled the trigger
. The only bummer is that because I wrote a check instead of bringing cash (should have known better, it's not like this was the first time I've done something on Craigslist) we ended up agreeing to wait for the check to clear and then she will deliver the bike to me later in the week when she has a free evening. I had offered to come pick it up once the check cleared but she will bring it here so I don't have to make another trip. Kind of disappointed that I didn't get to bring it home tonight, but it will be here soon enough. Then the fun will begin!
ETA: Sky King, I think you're right that the 42 would have been too small...the saddle would probably have ended up way above handlebar height which would be really awkward on that kind of bike!
