I am still following any replies that might get posted

I have meant to go much earlier (still no bike yet) Today I was going in, at the latest, this Saturday, now that the snowstorm has moved on & it is much warmer out.

If the headset on 2000 is not so good can I exchange it for the better 2002 headset (paying to do so of course)?
I have pretty much decided on the 2000 because of the generally nice quality (after going over all the great sharing ppl have done here and checking out other various comparisons on other bikes, etc.) and also cause of the good deal on sale. If there is something for sure i ought to be aware of on the headset please let me know!
thanx for bringing it up fubar ~

may be leaving very soon~

in appreciation,
Emma
