Thanks for the thought though. I might start doing a nationwide Craigslist search.

I thought a 55 vs 56 might be doable, but a 52..that is different. I did do a national CL search(via searchtempest) and the two I posted are all that are available nationally, at the moment. There were couple Americanos too, I think.

You might give the Bike Doctor a call. He's been a Co-Motion/Gunnar/Trek/some Cannondale dealer for quite a while. He may have something that isn't listed. I don't think he runs CL ads much. I've only seen a couple from him recently. Haven't been out there lately, his shop is a regular stop on a route that we ride (he's on a good trail).

I was also in Ben's Cycle in Milwaukee lately. He(Vince) carries Milwaukee Bikes. MB has a touring frame, nice steel tubing, made by Waterford Cycles. The 56cm frame has a 55cm top tube.

(edit: Co-Motion's Divide 52cm frame with a 55cm top tube..odd combo, seems very long for a 52)
