Gary,
Just how tall are you?:eek: A 56" frame as you indicated is really, really tall.:twitchy: Do you mean a 56cm frame height? ;)

No, I'm really tall. :)

Okay, I'm lying. I'm 5'10" tall. I meant to say 56cm. I don't speak metric all that well. :rolleyes:

I just wanted to see a picture of your custom made 56" Roubaix.

You're my size. Here's a bike I doubt I'll ever ride again but I can't bring myself to sell it to just anybody. PM me if you think you might be interested. The nifty handmade wood display stand doesn't come with it.

There goes (for now) the new bike. I don't put things on credit anymore - haven't for two or three years now, so if I don't have the cash on hand, I don't spend it. So as much as I want a new bike NOW, it's going to have to be set aside for a while unless I get an unexpected windfall soon.

I can't tell you (but you already know) how disappointing this is. I shall have to be patient, remembering that this, too, shall pass.

Major bummer!!!

Gary, yes a serious bummer.

But honestly, I'm just glad to see you back here.
