I picked this one up last week. It is a medium and fits me and the price was too good to pass on. It is NOS and was never ridden. The previous owner owned a bike shop that sold them and this was still on the floor when they closed their doors. The Bacchettas are very easy to ride. Only thing I don't like is the foot front wheel interference on tight turns. It's a well documented problem on the Giro 20. But I can live with it considering all the positives about this bike. The way it is pictured is the way the previous owner (5'8") had it set up. Notice the seat is almost all the way forward. I had to move it back and I'm somewhere in the middle of the range. I'd say the previous owner would've been better off on a small but I'm sure glad it was a medium. :^) I will say that this is a fantastic commuter. Almost as good as the Trek R200... which is the easiest to ride ever in my opinion. You can be very upright on this machine to have full visibility of traffic. I like that since a couple of my bents aren't that way. I'm currently building up a Giro 26 high racer. I may go 700c on it.
