Just a bit of warning, you may be too short for this bicycle. I purchased a 19" Nishiki mixte with similar set up and 27" tires from a guy who intended it for this 5' tall girlfriend. Turned out the bicycle was too big for her. Maybe you should try to try out a similar sized bicycle locally before making a road trip out of it. I paid about this much for my Nishiki in the Seattle market, which I thought a fair price. I think whether the price is fair depends on how bad you want it...
