Here's the craigslist ad photo. I think these were a Consumer Reports best buy, so that's why you see them pop up on CL a decent amount.

Mine also has some nasty paint scrapes from a bad lock job and scars from the kickstand. if you find a good match for the red, lemme know!

I had a stem bolt I couldn't turn with my multi-tool. So I bought a 1/4" drive socket wrench with a 10" handle along with a 6mm hex bit. That bit of extra leverage did the trick. If the bolt eventually loosens but the stem is still stuck, tap the head of the bolt with a hammer to break the expander wedge gripping the inside of the steerer free.

Good luck. I think you'll find it to be a nice rider.
