Hi Cheri! I was wondering where you had gone. I don't have a bike to sell but I did pick up a used Scott Hardtail off Craigslist. It was a bit of luck, the girl had bought it as a commuter and it had not seen the trail at all. She was moving to Europe and just needed to get rid of it. I saw the original receipt and was satisfied with the story and my bit of luck.

Hey everyone -
I didn't realize there would be so much more info I needed to provide...so, I am about 5'5"-5'6" tall (I've always been 5'6" but recent dr's visits suggest I may've shrunk a bit)
I can tell you I ride a WSD Giant Road Bike in size XS, with a compact frame. I have longish legs with a short reach.
As far as FS or Hardtail goes, I would prefer FS - but cost will dictate since I gather Hardtails tend to be cheaper.
Budget? Negotiable, but I am TOTALLY looking for a starter bike, that can fall numerous times without me caring. In other words, I don't want to spend a ton of money. Besides that, I have to figure in shipping costs.
Thanks - I look forward to more replies.
Hi Amanda - I know I've been off the forum, but still riding. Good to see I am remembered.

Specialized Mtn Bike for Sale
I have a 13" 2006 Specialized Rockhopper Women's Comp for sale. I'm only 5' tall but if you're still looking you could check out the geometry on the Specialized website to see if it would work for you. It's been very gently used. Only off road a couple times. I've decided to stick to road biking. Let me know if you'd like pictures. Thanks!
