Even though my old Blur LT is really not worth much these days, I can't afford to replace it with a bike of equal or better quality and same goes for the road bike (and I don't want to commute on the road bike).

Been scouring Kijiji, Craigslist and Pinkbike for used but I haven't found the "one" yet.

What are you guys riding for a flat bar commuter? Any suggestions? Any lines on a phenomenal deal that I wouldn't be able to pass up?
What about sizing? I am 5'10" and have a 32" inseam.

Cheers,
I bought a Fugi Absolute 1.1, Aluminum frame, 28x700 slick tires, 10spd w/ compact crank, hyd disk brakes.

It's perfect for around town, and was under $1k
