Hey bikerchas55 how tall are you (like 8 ft??) and what's the size on that frame???
Yeah I'm tall, just tall enough to throw a leg over the "Green Monster". For some reason though it looks bigger in the pic than it does in real life. Anyway it is a 64 and I am 6'5" so it is at the limit for traditional sizing parameters. I just love riding it, so smooth and quiet. Everything is italaian except the Rigida rims, Swift saddle, Conti sew ups and a Dura Ace 7sp freewhweel. I have a NOS Regina ready to install but the DA is so quiet I don't want to take it off! As you may have guessed I am a confirmed retro grouch and I love restoring and putzing almost as much as riding. I spend way too much time and $ at ebay. I think I will build an all japanese project next winter.... could be fun!
