I waited for years for a PX10 under $400. Now there's one on craigslist in my neighborhood for $350, and I'm going to pass. I just don't need it.

$350? That's a really good price if the bike if it is in VGC..... Heck, Mid level 80's Peugeots (in VGC, of course,) were being sold for around that price just 4/5 years ago, IIRC.

Bless your heart. Takes a tough guy to not buy what he's always wanted because it makes more sense not to.
