Ended up getting the Marin, the bike really is in excellent condition. There is a small scuff here and there, but no rust at all and none of the cassettes are worn at all. Definitely seemed like it was well cared for and barely used. Took it for a little spin, and WOW what a difference over my flat bar hybrid! Even though this isn't a top of line road bike BT any stretch, it is already way more fun to ride. Fits very well, too!
