[RBW] Interest in 56cm Protovelo Bleriot frame?

http://olympic.craigslist.org/bik/5288390527.html I took a peek at the bike yesterday - the frame definitely has some rust under the clearcoat but sounds like that's common with the Protovelos. There are lots of nice bits and pieces on the bike I'm interested in but the frame is a bit small a

Forget I asked - I've just noticed that one of the photos shows the washer that goes behind the cassette when installing a 9/10 road cassette or a 9/10/11 MTB cassette, which would indicate that it's the longer road freehub body. On Wednesday, 1 August 2018 18:03:15 UTC+10, Nick P
