Good luck with your search.

thanks guys,
that isnt a bad idea as i can imagine me falling in love with the first one i see and getting legged up.
i bet one that i would think is in good condition would seem average/rough by your standards, so going to meet is probably a good idea to get an idea of comparative conditions.
good advice, thanks
