Wes,
      Contact Ted Ernst (through Chuck Schmidt) in California. Ted displayed HIS stayer bike at last years Velo Rendezvous. "His" as in the one HE raced!!! One hell of a guy! Measure his and "there you go".... i.e. come to the V.R. this year and have another SUPER time!
      Enjoy, John T.Pergolizzi Raining some more...ugh New York City
