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---
