Excellent condition, well taken care of. Paint finish is great.


I'm answering lots of questions about the measurements/ geometry of frame, so I am posting sizing link to the IF site. The only deviation from their specs is that I am measuring standover at 1cm less than what they have, probably due to different tire sizing. I use Axial Pro's. http://ifbikes.com/assets/documents/customize/traditional-sizing.pdf[/CENTER]

I'm not in the market, but that is one sweeeeet bike! Too bad you have to sell it. Let us talk to your wife. We'll convince her that you can never have too many bikes!

Thanks for the offer but we actually DO have too many bikes, considering our 2 1/2 year old and 4 month old little girls. Riding time is limited right now for both of us, but we try and get on the bikes as much as possible. CHeers, Peter

The specs on this are very close to my bike - I Love my bike! The campy chorus is fabulous, and the bike rides like a dream.

It might seem like impossible now - but I will tell you that before you know it you'll have time to ride again :) Time flies when you have little kids!
