What size? I think my local might have a couple Pulses and GTBs left.

An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.

Yes, yes, yes, I do have a GT, but not the pulse, I have the GTB. I took it out of mothballs today for a spin to work and back, nice friggin' wind MAN!
I love the GTB, this is one of the nimbilist bikes I own, it's tight, sweet, phat, sick and rad. It blows when compared to my Pista. And now it sports a new B-17. Tomorrow I'm getting rid of the red fork and installing the carbon fork I have on my Schwinn conversion.
I have also found this bike is claimed to have been owned by a couple wrenches in town, but I really can't imagine someone getting rid of this ride, it is so sweet. As much as I enjoy the pliable steel frame, an aluminum frame is like a whole nother world. Beware, aluminum transfers all the jolts in the road. You really feel the tarmac.

My GTB is black. I replaced the old head set with a 105 sealed bearing HS, but the steerer was too short, so I used the fork from my Cannondale frame, was really sweet, there are pics up here somewhere, I'll find the link, but everyone thought the red fork was ott.
Well, today I pulled the Trek carbon fork from my conversion and put it on the GTB, it was a sweet frame before, now it is just as sweet, but it's still a bit too small for me. My wrench looked at the four inch difference in the bar plane to the seat plane, and said something about lower back pain. I laughed and hit the Greenway. Sweet!

Damn, I thought that's what he said too.
I was telling someone about that tonight — under the spraypaint, there's red on my frame. I've been told they exist, but have no proof.
