    Elk, I had a Terry Symmetry and the thing that I liked least about it was carrying 2 different size tubes. Also, the front tire seemed to be more prone to flats. My hands also went numb often and I sold the bike to someone who fits it very well. She's having the same issues.

    I vowed to never buy another bike with 2 different wheel sizes.

    he's asking 300.

    yeah...I don't like th elook of the 2 different sizes...i was thinking i could just put a smaller wheel on the back? to match....

    I don't know...I'm loving my Aurora SO much....but I just like bikes!!!! I should probably just wait. The guy doesn't write back very quickly anyway...

    Personally I think 300 is high for an old bike that's not, say, a collectable Bridgestone, Waterford, Mariposa, etc.
    You can't just slap a smaller wheel on the back- the brakes won't be in the right place, just to name one issue.

    I don't know...this bike looks really long for a smallish bike and I would guess the reach would be uncomfortable for you. Plus the gearing is not made for hills.

    Also, in the 80's Terry might not have been making 'only their two smallest sizes' with two sized wheels.

    here are the specs:

    9 rings on the rear hub so it's an 18 speed.
    The standover height is 28 inches.
    The vertical tube height is 16 inches and the top tube length is 18in. This would be to where each tube butts to the cross-tube.
    As you can see in the photos the frame welds are double-butted.
