The Hoffman ep wasn't a light bike. But neither was ANY complete bike from about 5 yrs ago. Just get it & deal with the weight - you'll adapt.
The TT is most likely 18-19" if I recall.
While the bike is still a good deal at $75, keep in mind that the seller is lying in the description. Those are NOT Primo Powerbite cranks. I suspect he has a low-end EP complete & is claiming it is a high-end EP complete. If this is the case, it may not have a freecoaster either.
Still - at $75, not bad. If you're just starting out in flatland, a freecoaster isn't quite as important.

I wouldn't buy it just because the seller is lying. Those are only one-piece cranks. You can buy yourself a much better bike for a bit more money.

ya chainless is the style. once we rode home from the bike racks without a chain cause someone jacked joes(reason to never use a master link) and he had a huge bruze on his knee the next day.

HEY SENEYE!!!
I think I know you from somewhere. HTR maybe?
HOW'S IT GOING???
Get a WTP Metric from oldskoolcycles.com. Although it might be out of your price range cause it is $500.
