It was 2cm too small, as it was measured to the top of the seat tube, and that was 2cm taller than the way my Ironman bikes measure out.
Shame you had to sell her. She certainly was/is a beauty. But as a former F-15 crew chief, I can positively say with conviction that the F-15 will kick a Cenurion's butt. But I do think it's faster than that other single engined fighter you mentioned...


A Centurion for a Madone? Heresy! What is she thinking!
