I've been scanning craigsliist daily for a larger Escape to replace the way-too-small Escape 3 that I've riding for a year or so.
It took a long time to find a used one at a reasonable price, as there are a lot of flippers/scalpers asking more than list price+ for used bikes.

Finally, the stars aligned for me and a Large-sized 2016 Escape 2 City was listed and the seller was within 10kms of me. It seems to be in very good shape, but I have set an appointment with my local bike guy to give it a check-up/tune-up. This bike is the exact model I wanted, should be perfect for my daily rider with fenders & pannier rack already installed.
I will do a few minor mods like installing better pedals and my preferred seat, mirrors & such, but it will be so much better to ride a frame that fits me.

No pics yet, but here's a stock photo:
