Just noticed the standover in the All-Rounder listing. It is going to be too small. But someone needs to buy that bike!
Saw this on SF Craigslist: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/bik/2970252890.html It might work for you. It does not have lowrider braze-ons up front if you were headed that way. Herons are nice frames with strong Riv ties. Some Heron info from the internet archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20061029010109/http://www.heronbicycles.com/geometry.html The Bleriot still looks like a strong option.
