Thanks, everyone for your insights! Glad that the posting has been removed, but now I'll have to deal with the temptation of the Casual Encounters area on craigslist.

Regina, sorry to hear your Klein Palomino is gathering dust on top of that gorgeous paintjob. My friend also bought a Klein Palomino a few years back -- it's a beautiful bike, but his is also gathering dust. I think he wishes he'd bought a hardtail, because it's really hard for him to climb with the full suspension.

And yes, Eden, there's probably a good chance that it was stolen. They claimed they were leaving the country, but $285 for a bike that typically is in the $800 range?!
