Thanks, I may have to consider that option.

I have one if you want it. Yours for the cost of shipping.

Yeah my Diamondback Apex is my DD too.. I wasn't expecting it either. I was into Centurions, now I'm more interested in Diamondbacks. Same company, different brand name hahaha.

Price on the 22.5" came down to the point where the guy is listing it as FIRM vs OBO.. still not sure if i should pull the trigger on it tho..

Do it! You're about 3-4" taller than I am.

well looks like someone finally bought the 22.5 one after being listed for like a month, so that solves that problem LOL.. still tempted to check out the 19" though..

edit.. gahah i was wrong i guess the guy deleted the ad so he could relist it today.. seems really anxious to sell but price still too high imo

damn the 22.5 one I was looking at got listed for $150 today with an cheaper saddle and a rack added.. i called him and someone is already coming to look at it! He's a lil far from me and I can't check it out till tomorrow w/o a car. Having no way to quickly pounce on a deal is one bad thing about being car-free :\

edit: other guy didn't show.. got a meeting set up for tomorrow! Feeling excited!
