Um, Lisa, beg to differ. We're talking about the same bike - the one with the Mark's rack - as in this thread, posts 63-65.Originally Posted by Lisa S.H.

shoot....and it's probably just the right size for me---esp given that top bar...
I bet there's a line of smarty pants ebayers waiting to bid at the last minute...
not that i need another bike....i just imagine getting up these hills more easily.
I should take a photo of my neighborhood
a neighbor who is MR Road bike was laughing sadly at us..."poor things...this is not the greatest neighborhood for getting back on a bike..."
restraint....not my strong suit in ANYTHING!!! (but I can keep a secret)Discipline is remembering what you want.

Oh, you are RIGHT! I was thinking of the blue Rambouillet on Ebay from the week or so before- the 54cm one I think. Sorry. Originally Posted by jobob

Speaking of Rivendell Rambouillets, my DH just put up a nice page of pictures on CycloFiend of his beautiful Rambouillet:

Elk, you know if you can find an older steel road bike that fits you well, you can get it pretty cheap and then put some nice components on it one at a time and make if into something really cool. You can put some wide gearing too for your hills. I see lots of older steel bikes that have been made into fabulous bikes this way. I like the look of an older lugged steel bike with a few well loved dings in it and a good leather saddle, etc. There are tons of them out there in people's garages...sleeping beauties...
dont give up hope!

I wish wish wish I had kept my 1975 Raleigh !!!!!!
But the mechanic said it wasn't worth spending over 200.00 to get it fixed up when the new technology was so much better.....
I knew nothing. so we gave it to a collective & I went bought my Globe.
That was only about 2 months ago... Maybe the place I gave it to still has it!!Discipline is remembering what you want.
