got lucky...
 

(Guy who sold me the Redline 925 on craigslist deleted the ad I linked to here)

Buddy of mine's picking it up tonight, and the seller's even going to retension the wheels for me.

Yet another reason I can't wait to get home from this hellhole.

Seat tube is extended farther than he prefers?
Looks like a pretty standard extension to me.
Weird.

Yeah, I thought that was kind of strange... but I talked to the guy on his phone, he knows his stuff, has a truing stand, etc... Probably just not a fan of compact geometry and has enough other bikes that this one isn't a necessity.

I have no complaints.

Sweet.

good price on that. i'm sure a lot of people will be wanting to hear what you think of it.

ha, yeah, he should see how much i need at 6'4"

I won't be back home until May 18, so it'll be a while. But don't worry, I'll let y'all know.

I can say one thing: It will require a great many aesthetic modifications.

heh. of course. that goes without saying.

so how long will you be here?

50 or 60 years, barring any large advances in medical technology.

what was it? the cl post has been deleted.

redline 925, $399.
