e-mailed with the owner today...looks like a really nice bike and he says it is perfect in every way. However to answer my own question, the warranty expired earlier this year. So because of that and the 800 miles between us, I'm not the buyer for this one, but I suspect anyone who goes to see it will buy it. So, if you are in the area and in the market, drop the owner a line - he seems to respond best to the craigslist ad he has posted in Tulsa, OK.
Good luck!
