About a year ago there was a Grand Prix on Boston CL, ad said it was a 23" frame but even with the tiny CL photo could see it was bigger than that. I replied & asked the seller to check again & got the reply that it was 25" frame. I've got a 24" DL-1 single speed & plan to keep it that way but want a 3-speed that fits. Turns out the GP was a 27.5! I also want to keep the Raleigh IGH mojo. Haven't got to it yet...
Our house had the garage converted to a family room. My son lived there for a while, my future son-in-law lives there now. He's planning on moving out the 1st of the year. Wife said she wants the bikes out of the spare room & the kitchen. Says the room is all mine. Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!
(There's also a Royal Enfield in NH I'd like to stick in there.)
