I'm selling some, you just need to give me your bank account #, address, and social security number...also a picture ID would be helpful.

Will it come with a free copy of a book about an author who sleeps in a tent and rides his bike every day?

You work in a bike shop. Can't you tell at a glance what size it is?

notoriousDUG said:

5' to 5'6" is a pretty big range and the bike that fits one end of that spectrum does not fit the other.

There is no such thing as a flatless tire, not even a Marathon Plus is 100% flat proof.

When you put up an ad trying to get money for a bike now that you will not give up for another month saying it has fenders with not on it in the picture what kind of a response did you think you would get?

What kind of use did you put it through?  Salted roads, etc.?

That might be a measurement from BB to the "virtual top tube" 

It seems every company measures things differently.  The fact that this one is using inches already makes it suspect.  What is this?  1982?

It's not 1982, It's America, the only home to old english measurement in the world. Because we are the best, and can do what we want, even when it handicaps us. We go the extra inch, or whatever.

Just don't ask us to do a word problem.

Just be happy we never adopted Whitworth-pattern threaded fasteners & related wrenches...

Anyone who has worked with an 80's or older Raleigh 3-speed made in Nottingham England knows what I'm talking about...
