I'm keeping my eyes on the BOB list, but I thought I'd post here as well.
I'm going to be at a workshop near the Embarcadero from Dec 3-8. Plus, my son married and moved up to the Marina district, so I probably will be getting up to San Francisco more over the next few years. So I got to thinking - perhaps someone would like to sell a (not to super nice) lugged steel bike up in the city...and then I'd kind of try to slip it into their storage shed while they're not looking...so I can use it on future trips ! (and that way, his mom won't see me bring any more bikes into our garage here in LA!).
59cm c-c seat tube is the ballpark. I'm looking for something rideable - but I'm also not looking to pay a lot of $$. I'm open to suggestions. (boy, posting this makes me cringe on the absolutely BEAUTIFUL curved tube Paramount that was for sale on Craigslist up there on a trip about a year ago...and how it was sold RIGHT out from under me on a deal that went wierd...dang !!)
My 'other' bikes (for reference) are at:
