Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to keep my appointment for a test ride on Sunday and see where it goes.
I'm already planning on a front wheel build for a dyno hub, so an extra couple hundred for a rear wheel build isn't out of the question, assuming the price is right for the bike.
I may create an account for bent rider online and see what kind of feedback I get too. I didn't think about that, since I generally just frequent bike forums.
