Cryptic subject, yes... but it got your attention!
I found this cool bike for my son: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/bik/4995383848.html About 10 years old, Taiwanese Tig welded Reynolds 853 frame, with newer/higher-end components. His size!
Only problem that you may have picked up on, is that it's in Seattle. Any suggestions to help facilitate this? Does it seem like a good price even after I've found a shop that will pack and ship it (what's that, $150 or so)? Anything I should be concerned with. I mean hopefully no cracks in welds, fork seals are all good, etc, but beyond that?
Finally, anyone with a bike-nut relative in Seattle that would love to get involved and check it out, maybe transport to a shop, stuff like that?
