I think I might try to check the local stores. Firehouse is still around and they do have a big selection even though they are kinda pricey but I guess that is what it takes for a bike in good conditions and ready to ride.
Thanks everyone again for being so helpful!
You can get really good deals on Craigslist in Philly, you just need to be prepared. Know what sizes will fit you and how to identify a better quality bike. Also be able to tell if it is ready to ride. (Check tires/brakes/cables and ask about bearing maint) Now the important part, check daily and be ready to contact the buyer and go see the bike right away.
