Fredwina gets bent?

[Fredwina]

Actually, I found the Bacchetta forums pretty helpful , too. (I'm registered on BROL, but have never quite got the "vibe" there.)
I'm tall enough that I can flat foot a dual 650(a bike with 650C wheels front and back, versus the giro's 20 Front/ 26 Rear) at a stop. It's just that 4 inch higher bottom bracket that gave me the Heebie Jeebies Maybe if like the giro, I'll spring for a Corsa or a Carbent(the guy who owns Bentup(the shop where I'm buying it from) also owns CarBent)
Tokie, I did test ride a lightning Phantom. I wanted to love the bike, since it is locally made, but found it to too be quick handling to my tastes, plus I had problems with getting it started vis a vie the Giro and the RANS V-Rex. Plus the dealer yelled at me for doing the "Flintstones" start. Which is sad, since the shop is a lot closer to me than Van Nuys.
will report more when I get some rides in.
