    Dang- I just looked at the geometry- and I'd almost certainly have the same problem with the toptube length. Oh well.

    Unfortunately, I'm not a good enough rider for a double, so I must pass...
    One could always put a triple crank on it... Assuming the shifter is the same as the R700 I have on my bike, it will work with a triple, so it would be a matter of a crankset and a derailler...

    I'm a knucklehead. Inches, inches. Lisa, the TT length is 21.5"

    The bike is steel. When I had my LBS assemble it, the mechanic was raving about the bike---very high quality.

    What's special about this one is that it's a limited edition. The Terry decals aren't even painted on it. I wish my torso were a tad longer.

    You also could outfit it with a compact crankset (I hate triples. LOL)

    I'd really love to see this bike go to someone who will ride it a lot. I am willing to negotiate on price, just so it gets a good home.

    <Knot whines softly, pats her Surly and Waterford, daydreams of a STEEL Terry that just happens to be the right size with a long enough top tube, whines again, restrains self...barely>

    It sounds wonderful! The TT length would work for me, but the 20.5" is too tall for my short legs! WAH!!!

    (if only it were a 19"...then I could make it work!)
