MiamiJim had a HUGE Colian frame, 73cm I think, with a badly stuck BB, a while back. He very generously offered it for the cost of shipping to someone who could use it.

I happened to know just the guy: one of my son's former jr high Montessori teachers, who is something like 6' 9" and big boned, an enthusiastic cyclist, but with a history of breaking frames. He has the bike now and is very happy with it. Here it is in the rack outside the school. I should really get together with him and help him do a nicer build on it.
