EDIT: Looks like a 58 ctc. Are you sure it's too big?

Also, about your biopace rings. Apparently there are two versions. I don't know which mine is, but there's very little change in radius and it rotates.

short fuse might be more appropriate if the sizing messes with your cycling mojo.

HA! I actually looked that movie up! I think it would be funny to call it "Number 5", because it will actually be the 6th bike in the stable.

54 is probably my ideal size.

Oh! And I went back and looked carefully at the 1989 Schwinn Lightweight Bikes catalog online, and I found that even the 23" came with a 40 mm Cinelli Giro d'Italia bar. The 23 had a 110mm stem, vs the 22's 90. I suspect, once I get this 22" one all built up, all the 23" Circuits out there will crawl out of the woodwork, too late for me to buy them.

I suppose I should post a pic of the Circuit as I found it:
Mrs. GeneJockey commented on the horrible tape color. But the clean stuff underneath the old tape was even worse! Fluorescent chartreuse!

These are the more extreme, earlier version, I believe. They're obviously way out of round, just looking at them. I'll try them out, probably do the 'one arm over' thing. But I also have a set of 7410 Dura Ace rings could use if I can't stand them.

I dressed for the headwind portion of my ride today so I got a little warm towards the end.. If I would have left any later I would have been quite overdressed for the last half of my ride.
