Oooh. Someone is going to get lucky. That's one of the favorite bikes I own. I agree that it's too small for you though. I'm the same size, and think my 58 is even a little small. Regarding decals, I wrote to the Chuck Ibis site a couple of times, and recieved replies from Scot himself! That was before he bought the company back, or maybe just after, so he's probably just more busy now. I think it's just him at the other end. Might not hurt to send a message. (Although I seemed to recall that the Hakkalugi decals weren't available.) Hand Job and Moron tubing FTW!
