Dear Jeff,
Cuz ! Since when is a 70's Cinelli Super Corsa in decent shape a "moderately valued" item ? Have you been inhaling too many shellac fumes before that posting ? <G>
Hey, you never know - I guess it is worth a try. Far be it from me to discourage anyone's particular desire. Glad to see your wife discover the health and pleasure benefits of riding, regardless of what she pedals. The riding is the important part !
Come to think of it, I'd like to put together a nice commuter for my sweetie - anyone have a nice Alex Singer frame at a moderate price ? Oh, and a used SR Laprade seatpost for it - you see I'm on a budget ! <G>
Wise ass to the bitter end,
