This week yielded a fantatic Ebay score for our household. My wife is on the smaller side and I always have an eye out for nice bikes in the 48-50 range with reasonable geometry, not 75 deg seat tubes an 68 deg head angles etc. This Sequoia seemed to be priced a little high at first, then I pulled the trigger, and then was shocked when I got it out of the box. I have honestly seen bikes with more wear and tear on showroom floors.

Suntour Superbe brakes and pedals, Avocet crankset and saddle, tires - everything there and near mint. It will likely stay in this form for a bit and see how she likes it. Her current ride is a Miyata seven14 with somewhat similar geometry, but I think the sequoia will fit her a little better. Possibly convert to 650b and upright position in the future, we will see how it goes.
