Indysteel - I've been all over the place with bike shopping. I've realized that since most shops around here don't have a bike for me to try in my size, there is no reason to not go used and save a little money now, learn what I do and don't want in a bike, and go new at a later date. Given that, and using the expertise of my friend Zoom-Zoom (and her amazing husband), I think I'm going to spring for something I can afford - found on ebay. Bonuses - the bike is cute, the price is right (includes free shipping) and the components are decent.
