Thanks again for the info Olivia. Glad to have you around on these forums!
That warranty bit has me leaning toward buying new, although I have yet to hear/read of someone trashing a bike so bad that warranty was needed outside of using bikes for what is wasn't intended to do. I do want to buy new regardless, but I have seen some decent deals on used bikes.
I'll post up links to any that I find and wait to hear back from you guys.
Again, thanks for the info to everyone. I feel like I'm bleeding you guys dry
