All about 56-59cm with downtube friction shifters and toe clips/toe straps. I just need to know ahead of time.
That's really generous, Jim.
One of the biggest obstacles that concerned me about a Boston ride last year was that finding lodging in the urban area would be difficult / expensive compared to previous Fifty-Plus Annual Rides in a small towns, but last year’s riders all found satisfactory accommodations. In fact one participant got an amazingly cheap Bed and Breakfast within about 3 miles of downtown. Feel free to reply to this thread, or a PM to me for any assistance.
