Buying a used bike for my gf - fit questions

[Trek420]

Bvz, Based on your Craigs ad I surmise you are in the Bay Area? There are many places that sell used bikes here. You get the services of an LBS, adjustments, swapping parts, selection, test rides ... without the possible bad karma of a hot Craigs bike.

Off the top of my head; Pioneer bike shop off Piedmont Ave in Oakland, Trips for Kids Recyclery in Marin, Missing Link Bike Co-op in Berkeley (new bikes south side of the street, used on the north), Karim Cycles in Berkeley .... I'm sure there's more than these. This is just off the top of my head.

There is also the bike kitchen in San Francisco

Yep, and there's another one of those in the East Bay ...

Thanks for all the bike shop suggestions... I think I'll look around at those (I actually bought my first and second mountain bikes at the missing link almost 20 years ago and the same guy who sold them to me is still working there!)
