A really nice looking one just popped up in my area. I feel like a recall a thread where someone was lamenting theirs being a size too small or some such.

@RiddleOfSteel comes to mind, but he snagged his already. Anyone else?

As @gugie said, it was probably me, but that looks like their 68cm (CTC) frame size and not a 65cm like I had mentioned. Lovely bike nevertheless! Pending a final component update on my 62cm Expedition, it’s set for powder coating. I was finally able to ride it (in OR) after the smoke cleared. Sublime!

Hmm, yeah I think I was either thinking of you or maybe a guy who had one with a dent in the top tube. but also said the bike was too small. I'm not sure. Well, maybe somebody will see this thing and want it. can't imagine any random will buy it at that price point.
