The above are good points, too. I think it really depends on what you want. If you're just trying to learn, $40 in Boston area really is nothing. Back when I was just learning about all things bike and scouring for good used deals, I would've gone w/ this. But a stuck seatpost is a dealbreaker for me. I have had to deal w/ two nice frames w/ stuck seatposts, and it just wasn't worth the hassle.
