I know people say be careful of scams... I'm super interested. I have been playing phone tag with Christine. She sounds nice (I know, I'm a big sucker). Anyway, she's in the 310 area code, and my mom lives in Orange County, Ca. I'm thinking I'll send my poor mom to give the money and pick up the bike. Does anyone have any great insight about shipping a bike? Mom's are so great! I mean I wouldn't ask anyone but a great friend or my mom to brave the traffic up to LA to check out a bike for me
