[MENTION=267629]oddjob[/MENTION], I'm still not able to reply to your private message, so putting it here.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm really hoping to get a new bike before April. Partly it's just because I want to start riding it, and partly it's because the old bike is quickly approaching a point when I will either have to spend significant money on it or stop riding it (back wheel is doing a worrisome little dance when it spins). Are you based in New York? I can't tell from your location. If so, I might make it back before April. I take it you don't ship bikes?
