Well it sounds like a great bike but the seller will not respond. Guess he moved already or it was sold and he didn't remove the ad. I will look into used bikes at LBS and a co-op. I do have lots of hills in my commute so a fixed would be a challenge for sure. I looked at my LBS within walking distance and they showed me Specialized Sirrus Sport and then I test rode a Trek 7.4fx. A little more than what I want to spend but it sure did ride smooth and was comfortable.
