Thanks guys, it was everything you said it would be but not what he said. He didn't do a very good job of measuring and it was a size too small. Oh well, he had some other bikes he wanted to sell. So I grabbed a 63cm Norco Victory, full tange 900 (if you know anything about the tubign grade that would be good), the bike is a 1985, with black suzue hubs and black ukai 700c rims. it even has the 600 pedals, it's in great shape and only cost 80 bucks Canadian. The craftsmanship isn't spectacular, but it is made in Japan... anyway the moto looks exactly like Jack with the original leather bar coverings (I don't think you would call it tape), If anyone is really interested in a ~59cm motobecane GT let me know, I could go back for it.
