I keep reminding myself that there is nothing I could do on this bike that I can't do on my 62 cm Betty. Well, I could take that ugly rear rack off, put the widest dirt-friendly tires on that would fit, find the right bars/stem and have the most overly elegant mountain mixte in existence. Sigh

Ditto here... although I don't know if I could pull it off, was hoping to not raise to much awareness... :-) My size, local to me... man it's tempting. FYI, original BIN was indeed $2K On 10/11/13, Mattt wrote: > > I was hoping no one posted it on here to reduce exposure:). I am interested > an
