That's a fine frame with a very cool name and graphics package. I love the plane that "spears" - that's what Grant told me it's called when I mentioned it to him back in the day - the downtube lettering. Don't hesitate if it will fit you, it's a good price and there aren't a lot of them out ther

I'm offering my original owner 55cm Bleriot with Chris King head set, Pletscher kickstand and SKS fenders. But wait there is more...a fresh bottle of Carol Hanson Marine Scene touch up nail polish. Your toe nails will match the frame and you can also touch up the chips shown in the photos. :-)
