I noticed that same ad a few days ago. My wife doesn't want to go that route anymore since the last scam we encountered. Like new the guy said. Like new my you know what. It was scratched, dirty and the gears didn't work properly. My wife was really annoyed with that. Regarding this particular bike, the ad states the bike is 6/10 as far as condition goes. I wouldn't mind at least looking at it, but since the bike is for my wife, it's her call, and besides, its a good hours drive. She said that she would prefer a new bike now. I do have the green backs for a bike now set aside, but if I sell the camera gear, which I don't use anymore, she probably would like to get the D3. But, I don't want to leave any stone un-turned, so to speak. One never knows what might come along in the meantime. We are hoping to get out on Saturday to have a look at the D3. At least we finally came across one to look at and test ride.

Thank you for looking that up for me. Very much appreciated.
