Thorn, I've watched most (maybe all!) of her videos, which I thought excellent.
I see the page has been updated with a 2009 Fast Woman. Out of my price range (should have asked for a more expensive wedding band), but what a great deal for someone!
Oh, and another, an Isis Sport.

My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom
I don't know whether this is feasible/wise, but.... could I put 650mm rims/tires on the 2002 Madeleine? That would reduce the height of the bike, enough for me to be able to stand over it. Is this a silly idea?
I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem feasible. A frame is designed with a specific wheel size. Change that; change the handling. Beyond that, even if it did work, you'd have to change out the brakes as you just shrunk the wheels.
No....IMO, better to sit tight and wait....your perfect bike is out there.
Thanks again, Thorn! Yeah, I was thinking after I posted that it was probably a stupid idea, but.... it's the perfect bike except for being just a little too tall!
Yes, yes, I know that makes it not the perfect bike, but it's such a beautiful bike and it's steel and it has such nice components and it's such an excellent price and in my price range, AND my kitchen already matches it! No one will notice that the bike is stored in the kitchen; it'll blend right in!
Dang it; I wish my inseam were just a little longer!!

Just a FYI -- a new collection of bikes has been added. More of the 2009 Waterford steel models and a 2005 Titanium.....
