"Dan, I have a Raleigh Record 57cm frame you can have. It needs a bottom bracket (and pretty much all else). I was getting around to getting Keith to get a spindle for it, but you can have it if you want."

Thanks a lot for that Cavit8! I might be interested, although I'm afraid it might be a bit too big. Is it 57 ctc on the seat tube? What is the top tube length? What colour is it?

Yeah I saw that nice red Miele that is way too small for me. That fire engine red colour looks awesome.

cavit8 10-18-06 10:27 PM

It's 57 (maybe 58) centre to centre with about a 57cm top-tube. I don't have a measuring tape, so I'm ballparking with a level I have. It's a dark blue.

Crap. Did anyone score this Bianchi on CL posted later in the day? I emailed the person right away but I must have been too slow; I initially thought it was a joke. I guess we'll see it back on CL with a 500$ price or on eBay. I have been dying for an SLX frame and if it was a Bianchi, it will have been the celeste colour. Oh well, another one will come along eventually (but not likely for 50 bucks).

"Some guy Igor bought it." you can guess where you *might* find it...

Damn, that's a bit too big for me. 55 ctc is more my size, with 56 being the absolute height limit. I can do a 57 top tube, although 56 is just about right. thanks again though, I really appreciate it!

You have got to be kidding me. The seller told you this in an email? I received nothing from them at all. Great, Igor is on the internet, no one is safe. I see Uncle Jacob is on ebay as well, unloading some nice stuff too. This is why we can't have nice things.

Bike looks like new. It's been stored in garage for years. I don't know much about bikes. Sticker says Columbus SLX and Campagnolo.

Some guy Igor bought it.

* this is in or around Etobicoke
* no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Huh, that is really weird, I guess my browser keeps the cookies or something because when I click on the CL link, that isn't there. Now I really think that this posting was a joke and was posted just to kick up some dust; who would describe a Bianchi by the type of tubing rather than what is written on the top-tube ie: Strada LX or Trofeo. And why wouldn't the person just delete the post rather than edit it? Clearly I've thought too much about this ;)

Nope you have not thought about it to much, it’s fishy & stinks, someone just messing around! IMHO

I am supposed to do it on Sunday but I'm told by my team that I have to be there at 6am. Needless to say, I am withdrawing from the team. I wanted to do it to compare with my last time but that is really really early for a Sunday morning.

Shiznaz 10-19-06 11:06 AM

Yeah your first mistake is taking the sunday spot. As soon as I heard 6am I was like "pshaw"

We need a little bit more bickering around these parts to keep things popping. Far too civil. Where is JIT when we need him?

somnambulant 10-19-06 01:11 PM

**** you, *******.

duppy.conqueror 10-19-06 01:16 PM

JIT is too easy...

we need more challenging skill level and multiple opponents! JIT is a Pu$$yclaat in Training

Shiznaz 10-19-06 01:32 PM

Its like in the Bourne Identity where he just realizes he knows how to incapacitate 4 cops with guns simultaneously in 3 seconds with his bare hands just by doing it. The second one of you looks at me wrong I'm going to open a huge can of hyperbole on your ass.

somnambulant 10-19-06 01:36 PM

oh god.. he took the hyperbole pills!
