Found this today. I love auctions like this. The guy tells me everything but what I need to know, like the SIZE!! What SIZE is it, dude? Unbelievable. Esp. considering the size is stamped plain as day on the bb shell.

Then, there's the blithe way in which the seller relates how he simply got rid of the original wheels, which were apparently tied and soldered, and probably had those lovely light Martano rims. He told that tidbit as if I should be happy he put some nice clinchers on it, with Phil Wood hubs. <sigh> Made me want to weep. Maybe he kept the original wheels. Might be worth asking..although I can just imagine some alert wrench at American Cyclery saying "you don't really want those old sew-up wheels do ya? I'll give ya 25 bucks for 'em!" <sigh> again.

Have fun!
