Well I spoke to the LBS where the bike was originally sold. The guy I tend to talk to most, a totally honest fellow, thought about it and said offer 800$ which is kinda where I was headed. His brother who runs the shop said oh no, try $600. I offered $800 cash and guy turned that down flat sooooo. No new bike for me today.

Smurf, I'm looking for a 54cm bike - that seems to be a great fit. If your roomie's bike happens to be that size, I'll gladly have a looky.
