Oh, there are days when I wish I was an inch or two taller!

That 50cm is just a tad bit too big though. You really had me going there, I thought you might have found me a 48cm (which would be perfect ).

Still, it would fit bmaxwell .

Do you measure c-c or c-t? Seat post is 48.5cm c-c, 50cm c-t.

It still has a bit too much headtube for my liking. Normally I don't see any space on the headtubes of my bikes.

EastHill,
The way Serotta does their images, I can't just snag them and repost here. I'm assuming you read the thread. It is silver/pink fade, C-Record, and probably a 48-49cm with teeny head tube. It would be worth joining the forum and PM'ing him/her if interested. I told them to post here, but as you may know, the site was down for a good part of the early day.

Here's the best I could do:

mainducoyote,

Can you tell what the RD is on that bike?

If I was a 'nago fan I would have someone in LA pick that up for my wife.

Maybe last generation C-Record or just Record but I'm not sure . I find it strange that it's not a first generation C-Record.

I'm not sure, but I think it is related to Murphy's Law in some way.
