If that's a disc model, or an FS model, it's probaly a pretty decent deal. 19 may be a teeny bit small, though.

i would only consider buying a used bike if its a high-midrange to higher end ($1500+ originally) bike, and even then you have to know what you're looking at to see if the guy beat the shit out of the bike.

lower end/ midrange bikes, no way, they cant take much abuse and are probably all used up unless they were barely ridden at all. (ask RJ about his specialized....)

those are the kinds of jacknobs that give mt. bikers a bad name. tearing up the trail, dragging the rear tire around and riding like its a motocross bike. they arent even fast

You're a couple inches taller than me, but you're more than welcome to test ride the crappy Rincon if you want! I may be working out at Summit Point here in the near future anyway. :lol:

Good article that's somewhat related.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Critical Massers have always been douchebags... don't make the mistake of associating a general cyclist with the holier-than-thou city punters that run this crap. People love to make fun of spandex roadies, but, because of sponsor name displays, prominently displayed team names and logos, we're generally far better behaved than those tools.

Also, if we're talking about mountian bikes, it's important to note that the general public doesn't usually haven opinion on them, because mountain biking doesn't take place on car roads.
