Exactly. That 49cm $50 Paramount hasn't shown up on Detroit CL or at any thrifts hereabouts yet, and I don't have the time to haunt all the garage sales.
And I have everything I need on hand to build the bike back up including tires, except a replacement for that "half step" crankset. With luck I can make a trade with a CVer. (Anyone have a Biopace triple?)
And yes, if I win it it's going to be a keeper: my century/fair weather commute/smell-the-roses rider. Thanks!
