Thanks for all of the replies. I thought about fixing but the kid selling me the khs just told me he'd give it to me for $300 with a headset (so that's frame, fork, BB, and headset) too i'm not sure if i'm going to take it but I think that's about all I can do. and I was considering buying it anyway as a second bike but I guess now I'm just going to make my only bike. I ride (or rode) a 56 but I can go anywhere from a 55 to a 58 and still feel comfortable. So if anyone finds anything post up or pm me. thanks again.
