Yeah, I looked at craigslist, but I guess I'm just really picky since I
hadn't found anything I was particularly interested in. I figure if I'm
spending so much money on a bike, I might as well not take chances with it
having been abused. And unfortunately, the hybrid bikes I'm looking at now
which are basically road bikes with flat handlebars (I used to have a
mountain bike with front shocks and hybrid tires before it got stolen)
seem to have only been introduced within the last few years.
