Yeah, I know it's pretty rare to get something decent for cheap. but I'm fine with something older. I'm just looking for something to try out, kind of test the waters before I dive in a get a nicer bike. By last long, do you mean it physically wouldn't, or I'd just outgrow it skill-wise relatively soon?

Edit: it looks like a 2003 redline supa x, judging by the pics on bikepedia. http://www.bikepedia.com/QUICKBIKE/B...e#.UFuwSY1lQzI
