    When I test rode, the 49 was too big for me...and often I can at least ride 49.
    Anyway I hope you're wrong cause it's already on the way...!!!
    Sounds like maybe you did get the right size for him. Your'e right, my DH is kind of 'stretchy'.

    I hope it's a hit! Post photos!

    It's supposed to arrive Thursday. He gave us clipless pedals, cleats and I asked for an adjustable stem...he threw it all in.

    We'll see if it arrives in good condition (uh oh UPS) ...and if it does I would recommend this seller...who has quite a few higher end bikes for decent prices.

    I'm excited. NOw we'll have matching quality bikes...I think the Volpe and the Aurora are pretty close in that dept.....
