Seven years ago I managed to obtain a 62cm version of the Gazelle Champion Mondial semi-race, basically the touring version of the bike that won the World Championship in 1969. A really nice bike, but I always felt the one size up would have been even nicer.
Which was just what finally popped up last weekend on a local classifieds site.

There's a big Miyata Trail Runner for sale in my neck of the woods. I think they're getting scarcer.

This thread needs more entries.
1989 Cannondale SR___ in the framset-only 66cm size. 1989 Dura-Ace 8-speed Uniglide groupset.
And its stablemate, another 1989 model, this time a first-year OS-tubed Paramount, also in 66cm. Same Vittoria Corsa 2.0 32mm tires (that measure small!). 6400-era Shimano 600 7-speed.
