I don't have one but I know of one, still on the shelf in a store in Toronto. It's a Velosport and it is a silver/champagne colour and I would estimate it to be closer to a 60 cm. It's $ 600 cdn and I've always thought it would be nice to pick it up if it fit me. I think it has all of the same attributes as yours except this crank may be incorrect.
