I've bought from Pinwall in the past and unless you're willing to settle for poor quality or someone else's junk, then they really aren't a good option.

YMMV...
 
I saw the one they have now, it does not seem that good and it is the wrong style anyway....i'll keep my eyes open. No hurry.
 
I have a really SWEET one in my garage, with bearings and all. How much are you looking to invest ?
 
From what I have seen of used on ebay for $500 + or - I am going Bike Bandt new $800. I played it out in my head of saving $300 till the though of someone elses junk entered my mind, and it costing/lost $500 plus having to spend $800 I should have spent to start with instead of gambling over $300.

My "rule of thumb" has always been "if it costs more than 1/2 of new price, then I buy new." Someone else's opinion of "like new" or "perfect condition" rarely meets my standards.

You did the right thing in my book.
