and I get hesitant becuase I think parts will be a problem..

I haven't even seen a 24 junior in my area to test ride to see how it feels.
and I'm one of those craigslist and ebay trolls
Where are you located?

Well, when I come back from California with Mrs. Stringbreaker's mixte frame, stringbreaker, me, you, caterham, and whoever else is in the neighbourhood are having a mini BF meet and greet. Yes, the Sachs will be with me .
