I'm hoping you're right about the size. I squinted at it pretty long and hard before bidding. Well, before asking my wife if I could please bid. If it's in the 56-59 range, I'm good.
My brother and I once spent an hour or more with Tom at his shop in the barn next to his house, and he was great to chat with, and very willing to talk about old bikes, his days at Ross, etc.
