It is a 52. But I am still in the denial stage of grief, so give me a few days.

Excuse me, but I believe it was 27 minutes since she posted that it was going to be for sale. I do know how to show restraint! But lordy that bike is pretty! Originally Posted by 7rider

I am very sorry to report that my husband has found a workaround. He thinks we can use something as a spacer -- a big nut, or something -- and that will work.
Okay, I'm not sorry at all. Back off my beautiful bike, you vultures! Heh.

Wow. This bike is so smooth! I finally got my first ride today and it is pretty awesome. Totally different from my Bianchi, much more comfortable but not as fun to ride. Super stable, even on muddy leaf-strewn streets after a rain storm.
Still haven't worked out how to attach the trailer but we will make it happen. As soon as the bars are wrapped I'll post a picture. (We are deciding between black and tan bar tape because I am deciding between a Vitesse and a Brooks B17.)

This has really been a nightmare. Do any of you even remember that I was first going with a Smoothie ES but when the frame finally came in (after months) it was dented?
The Speedster is built but my husband has taken it on a couple of test rides and has not been happy with the way the headset feels. He took it apart last night and determined that either the headset was installed incorrectly (we had that done by the shop where we bought the frame) or the head tube was not cut straight.
Arrrggghhhhh. I really wanted to ride it this week. We got the trailer hitch issue fixed but back to the shop it goes. (We are probably taking it to our regular bike shop, not the one where we had the headset installed.)
