joking sarcasm aside(like I wouldn't take any excuse to buy new bikes! come on

Exhibit A:
The last pic is at standing height to show you there are indeed, 2 bikes in the pics.


Pink bike:
1987 Lotus Elite 600 Triathlon bike 44cm. 24" front tire, 700c back.
Black bike:
2003 Quintana Roo Kilo(not TT....lol!) 53cm. 650c F&R.
both have standovers of 28" both TT are 19.5" long. Both fit me the same, but my seat on the Lotus is a tad lower since I want to keep it stock and I am at minimum insertion.

Decade & manufacturer DO matter. a 14 shoe isn't always a 14 shoe.
