Yay not my size!
Anyhow you'll be waiting 2 weeks or probably more for that 2nd one coming from Germany.

I've heard great things about the lo pro, and this seems like a steal for that price, although chainring is claimed to be a Sugino Messenger, but doesn't look like it. Can someone confirm? The only thing I'm concerned about is whether or not this will fit me. Here are my measurements.
So what do you think, should I go for it? Or would it not fit? This will be my first bike since I was a kid, and I'll be using for my future years in college.
I'm 5'4/5'5 if that matters.
EDIT: Found another: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/bik/3856431202.html

Assuming that's the small Lo Pro, which I'm pretty sure it is, it might be a little on the small side. Effective top tube length is 52.
edit- That is assuming your measurements are accurate.

Frame size is 54 cm. I think thats a medium if I remember correctly. Or it could've been stolen and the seller doesn't know any better

I was eyeballing it based on head tube length and relative size to mine, which is a large. I could be wrong, but it seems like a big size jump.

He said he would sell it complete replacing the front wheel with another and with risers instead. Would you suggest going for it? Or would buying a Kilo TT pro from BD be a better choice?
EDIT- Rear wheel - New purefix rim, Vittoria Randonneur tyre, hub not mentioned.
Front - Mavic rim, Michelin pro race, tyre, Shimano RX100 hub

If it fits and you can get him to lower the price a little, I'd say go for it. I love my Lo Pro, but the weird geometry does make it difficult to size them. See if you can test ride it and see how it feels.

I picked this Campagnolo frame off Craigslist for free! It only cost me $30 in gas and a drive out to the desert to get it. I might put a 3 speed coaster on it. Going to powder coat it black.

Would someone be willing to share a SF Fixed invitation code with me? Visiting there next weekend and would like to plug into the fixed community while there. Thanks in advance.

I think everyone here frequents at least one forum. Maybe try the NorCal regional forum?

Now that I'm back in the bay area, I gave the local CL a browse and a random idea/ search actually turned out fruitful:
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/bik/3889625425.html
$320!!! for a shimano olympic chainring aka Sugino zen lookalike.
For that price you can get a zen cubic new on a good day.
