Plus, I'm short, so I need a particularly small bike, which makes it nearly impossible to even find anything that fits correctly.

I don't know who is buying these crap bikes on LA Craigslist, but I'm not going to pay $200+ for a 15 year old bike with no new parts when I can go to BD, and get a bike with a warrantee for the same price, or pay an extra $100-$150 for a good gruppo and possibly an IGH.

I've been searching for some nice steel road bikes to use as a commuter and all I see are old low end bikes going for too much money. I think the Fantom Cross Uno is pretty cool
