Hi Adam,
I have a 56 which is a bit big for me. I love it when I get on but, the truth
is a smaller size wouold be a better fit.
My bike, however is virtually brand new. I got it for Christmas. There is a
single 2mm paint chip on the top tube, otherwise is pristine. Orange.
What color is
Looks like Velouria with one of her green bikes!

Matt, that is exactly what I did with my Sam Hilborne. I got the seat right
(height) then carried a wrench with me and adjusted the handlebar height. Then,
seat fore and aft and finally rechecked the seat height. It took a few days of
tweeking but the ride is very nice now and I at 60 wake up e

I have great admiration for all of you who can ride in those kinds of
conditions. But, I do feel that safety has to always be an over riding
consideration.

That seems so odd to me but to each his own. I cannot say enough good things
about my Sam Hillborne which I have named "Crazy Horse". In terms of bicycle

always me!
