Thanks a lot guys! As far as the $224 Centurion, I tried dealing with that guy before and the bike I checked out fell apart when i got there. That and he seems pretty firm on all his prices. I may try talking him down. He has over a dozen bikes listed, do any of these really stick out?

And unfortunately 500-600 would take a few more weeks of saved paychecks, and I am currently without a vehicle and travelling on a skateboard is starting to get old ha. May or may not wait...

Do you guys think I would be better off buying from Bikes Direct? What is the general consensus of that site? Or should I stick with the craigslist route?

Thanks again!
