I do have long legs :-) I would take a larger size bike if I could tolerate more weight on my hands. There is a very good reason why the Jamis had such a TALL seatpost when you bought it, that wasn't stock.
I decided to charge a fixed shipping cost of $100, that should cover enough of both packing and shipping that I won't complain if it goes over. I really struggled with the opening bid. I didn't want to put it TOO high, but I also didn't want to set it too low either. I DO have two watchers, so hopefully some interest is developing. It is worth something to me to not have to sell her for parts!
