the 50 was too big (next size up...)Less than zero standover and the reach is almost 54...In those places alone it's too big.
That's why I couldn't understand why they didn't tell me to try the 47. I think I only need an inch more seatpost.. Otherwise I feel super comfortable on this bike...and I might even be OK where I raised it...but I can't go any higher at all.
I wanna go ride it!!!!

You can get a new seatpost, and you may not want black. You may just want shiny chrome. Just something to think about. Maybe the bike shop will swap it out. You have to know what size diameter it is. I just bought a new one and I didn't know there WERE so many sizes and lengths, setbacks, one bolt or two...etc!
I love the bike. Glory, she is beautiful!"Chisel praise in stone; write criticism in sand."

I hate to tell my Pilot but I think her days are numbered...that slanting top tube is just what i need short of a mixte. a couple of the guys in my club have Jamis's and I've been eyeing them since summer

go on and git one Girl...you might be able to make a nice 07 deal....I got mine for way under MSRP....
The sloping tube though is only on the 47...the 50 is "normal"
In fact, I think all the under 50 s I have ridden have sloping tubes...If you have a longer reach you should check out the SUrly and the Trek.... shorter than my reach...the Bianchi 44. Volpe....
That ex-fitter ex racer guy told me "under 48 frame, shorter than 520 reach" and damn if my 47 frame with the 513 reach isn't perfect...just needs a longer seatpost....this one is only 250mm---

Sandra...the fenders are my faves SKS plastic. They're black, but if you hold 'em to the light you see they're really kind of brown....they also come in silver.
Zen..
English please? drivetrain? It's a triple, I know that...and I think it has 27 speeds...the shifters are on the brake levers and are super easy.
