As long as the paint isn't dinged up from locking up all the time (bane of
commuters) then it seems like a real good purchase. If it was used in
winter, then that's a whole other story. Seattle does get some
precipitation I've heard.
The 52.5cm TT isn't bad at all for that size. Good to know!
This is the most awesomest rear rack ever!!! I have 3, although only 2 are
mounted.
If, however, you're looking for something less expensive, I have a brand
new, never mounted Tubus Cargo in silver. The difference is that it's
painted and has a plastic or something like that coating, as opposed
the only real difference between the two smallest RBT sizes is the location

I bought the big Nitto and wound up selling after only briefly installing

That seems like a really fair price to me, you're just in rarified air -
we're an odd lot! You might consider a cross-post to the SF bay area

I've got a single Riv silver if you're interested, though it's missing
