After a few weeks of shopping Craigslist and eBay I finally found a bike that met my requirements and fit my budget. I actually found it on eBay, but it was a Phoenix seller so I asked if I could come test ride the bike before submitting a bid. He was happy to take me for a ride in the hills near his home. Three miles later I was hooked and his bike was sold.
The picture is not exactly a proper representation of the bike. The frame is a 2006 GT I-Drive 5 1.0, but all of the components are from a 2007 GT I-Drive 5 3.0. While the 3.0 components are not as high-end (Deore LX as opposed to XTR) they are brand new, and either way they are a significant upgrade from what I was riding before.
I'm still shopping for an older hardtail to convert into a single-speed. I've been hankering to see what it's all about.
