Here's my Kona Lava Dome "Race Lite" in Orange which according to Bikepedia means it's a 1996 model. I got it from my sister who bought it new at a SF bike shoppe with some upgrades. It was her commuter before she decided she wanted to get really fat. This one's seat tube measures 18" c-t-t, I would dearly love to have same bike in the 20" size. This is the only MTB I've ever ridden that seems really light, and feels great on dirt roads and trails, but a little cramped (I'm 6'0" with freakishly long legs and spend most of my saddle time on a much bigger road bike). Anybody have one of these in 20", or something just as "Race Lite" as this? I never see these things on eBay. I started taking it apart today because the original (16 year old!) "Scratch" gumwall back tire finally gave out on the way back from the trail, grips are getting tatty, seat cover on the really terrible Expedia seat is peeling off, etc. Original paint on this one is 9/10. Has not been abused at all. (click photo to make it big.)

I've got an '80 (I think!) Raleigh Gran Tourer SE, measures 57x57. The bike was just bought as a birthday project for me, but the frame is a bike too big.
I an looking to trade for a comparable 55cm bike, preferably racing frameset. Will trade everything pictured here for a frameset if a bit nicer.

Anyone in the philly area looking for a women's schwinn world sport frame? Also, I have the 60cm. Batavus Tour de'l europe. They are both obviously low end, but they'd make somebody a nice little project. I'm looking for something 56cm.

I have two BIG frames here in Huntington Beach Ca. that could be someones project or be restored. The first is an 81'? Miyata 912, 62cm. has no decals, ready for paint. The other frame i have is some type of 80's Fuji, 64cm, ready for paint, I'm not too sure what it is since i got it without the decals. I'm only looking to trade locally for something similar in 60 cm. If the frame you offer is nice enough you can have both of my frames.
PM me if interested for pics or more info on the frames
Thanks!

I am in NYC (Bklyn) and have a 58 ST / 57 TT Gimondi-branded BMZ Italian Frame that is too big for me. No fork but would come with Gipiemme BB and water bottle. Would love to trade for something in 52-54 range... will consider anything of similar caliber, though I do have a thing for Peugeots
