We have an early F. Moser aluminum complete, and a custom

And a custom Rich Adams complete for less than the price of the frame. Kinda good deal.

How can someone not know the size of a frame? It's not very difficult to measure.

He got back to me with the size. 58cm

I noticed a lot of people on CL leave out the frame size like they don't realize not everyone can ride the same bike.

Once I asked someone selling a bike on craigslist what size the frame was and got a response back saying "I really can't be bothered with measuring. It's about 20-something inches".

Does a Fuji warranty transfer to a new owner? If not, I'd spend the extra $70 and buy one from a dealer.

More like a lot of people don't even know that a frame has a specific size. Craigslist can be bad sometimes, there's a lot of listings with the frame size in the title, but soooo many with no info. on anything at all.

It's just a knowledge gap (hopefully). Hell, I went into my LBS and a lady customer asked the mechanic, referring to a frame pump with both presta/schrader head, "Now will this pump work if I switch bikes?"

This guy has been trying to get 500 for a set of veeps for forever. Even with campy hubs I don't think they should be that much.

There was a guy at a summer bike swap in Portland that had a pair of those. The bars are pretty rad. They telescope down and then you undo the wingnut on the stem and the bars swing down to either side of the front wheel.

Complete 09 Raleigh Rush Hour in my size:

Must...not...buy...must...not...buy. I'm seriously thinking about just getting it as a beater/alternate bike to my trackie. Justifying it to the wife would be the hard part.
