Contrast that with the above Merz and seemingly every other one I see having ample room, I'd really like to find one. Since [MENTION=425004]merziac[/MENTION] has a bunch of tall ones that he'll understandably never sell, I'll have to be on the lookout for any ~65cm frames...
Sorry to see that one not as well kept--for the second time around!--that always bums me out.
Good idea and be advised that most only last 15 min. to 24 hrs max and usually are not cheap/reasonable at all.
The last big one that was for sale was originally $1400 frame only, I looked at it, drug my feet, couple weeks later I get an alert, its on PDX CL, $1200, messaged the seller 12 min after posting, "sold 5 min ago, sorry".
This one is as nice as you will find despite the current state and price, the last 2 that came up were in very sorry shape and still went for good money.
Being quick on the draw and stepping up $$$$$$ wise will still leave you needing plenty of luck IMO.
