Knot, calm down! :cool:
You and I are about the same height, and I take a 54cm Rivendell. I think this Wilbury is substantially too small for you. I suspect the seller is too tall for it too. Look at the head tube- it's almost non-existent it's so small, and he has a 10mm stem on it too. Too small for you! (trying to save you some needless angst here)
This bike would be good for someone about 5'1"-5'3" I'd guess.

Oh, whew!

Good! Now I feel much better. I couldn't have it anyway, but ooooh, it's so pretty! Especially in the picture of it in the field with the hills in the background.

(I really am supposed to stop buying bikes, and I really do have to stop cuz I got some expenses to take care of. But... bike lust knows no bounds, eh?)

Ok, who's short enough, go get it!

It's too bad he's not including the bags. Those are Giles Berthoulds I think. They are very nice, very well made. We already have 4 of them though.

a reach of 53cm (virtual TT) tears it for me..... whew..... (My Jamis is a 47...I need less than 52cm TT)

(i think its what makes me squirm on my Globe so much!!!)
