To buy or not to buy?

Oh crap.. you guys are just not helping the pocketbook.

Hmm... really? I thought if the top tube was that close, it was uh.. unsafe, shall we say? Though I suppose not as much for us as for the guys

Is there anything I should be looking for when I ride?

Mimi - orange bike has been to the spa, gotten a facial (had its various blemishes fill in and what not) and is now get a full body powder coat job. I hope it comes out quite the rock star

East - it's priced @ 200 but i think maybe she would go down. i like it cuz it's not a popularly known brand, Kuwahara(?), but the frame is really pretty decent.. so it's kinda stealth which is another nice feature.
