Xeney, that could be the same one. It's hard to tell because the number is different. I can call and talk to them though. Thank you.
Knotted you are sweet. It is disappointing, but it doesn't slow me down. It just makes it more of a challenge. Check out our selection of bikes on Craigslist here. You can see why I shop ebay!"Chisel praise in stone; write criticism in sand."

I'll be getting a Thomson seatpost with additional setback on my custom bike. Not quite sure sure which one yet, but one of these:

Sandra- why don't you just sell the bike that is a bit too small for you rather than spending more money on it trying to make it fit?

It's hard to sell bikes locally. There's not much market.
It's beautiful and in mint condition.
It rides the smoothest and the best of all my mixtes.
Mostly just because I love it.
But, I will probably put it on ebay or sell it here. You are right. I shouldn't put more money into it."Chisel praise in stone; write criticism in sand."

Do you have any nieces or friends that are smaller than you who might love it?
Or try selling it for cash on Craigslist near you so you won't have to ship it?
Donate it to a worthy cause?Lisa

My only niece is bigger than I am.
and she does not care one bit about bikes. I don't know of anyone that rides that would LOVE the bike. The bike deserves a wonderful home and rider. It is not just any ole bike. Not everyone would appreciate a vintage bike in mint condition.
I'd rather ship it than just donate it to any ole person, if that makes any sense."Chisel praise in stone; write criticism in sand."
