Guys: just bought a 52" X0-1 with SS couplers/travel bag
Initially I was worried about the tt lenghth (55cm)
but I got a lot of info from people my size who'd
ridden the 52" with no problems (I ride a 53" atlantis and a 54" rambo)
…the other size downwards was a size 48 but that would have been too small.
…and on this I'm going to put albatross bars on it to swing it back to me a bit.

I was to splurge for the bridgestone atlantis that John is
also selling but the ever knowledgeable doug brooks warned
me away, saying it was so-so build.
www.johndogfood.com/john/x01.html for pics of the X0-1
This X0-1 previously was Alex Whetmore's bike.

Not a bad price, either: $600 shipped and it includes
SS couplers, a travel case (and of course SS wrench)….so it'll
make a great travel bike (and I was considering a bike Friday…so
this will do the trick instead).

Now I can either swap out my surly cross check components to it
and make the surly a ss or use an Eno on the X0-1 and instead
transform it into a SS.

Regardless, a good find and hopefully my last bike
(yeah, whatever, I know).
