I am after one of these in a size small, frame only or complete with a salsa roller works too ;D Please let me know if you have one to part with or have a line on one.

In the off chance you are looking for a medium, I would be happy to trade my 1991 size medium.

Cheers!

Well, some did.

You could also order them without a noodle and with cam/u bosses, too.

As per the catalog you posted! ;)
 
Good luck tho! Reckon there's bound to be a few people with smalls in need of something larger...
 
XSmall size : 13.5"
Small size : around 15"

Got a 92 XS size : S bent stays but always Ubrake under the chainstays for those little size. You could got canti on XS size after 93.

Ok fine, they came standard with cantis and noodles....I don't want to arrivederci la pasta!


I think you're right? Mine measures 17.5" center BB to center TT and that one is listed at 16.75". The clearest way to tell size for me using the catalog is to look at the head tube, mine is 4.25" no confusing that. The nominal seat/top tube measurements leave room for interpretation, at least for me. I thought I had a large, then figured it a medium, almost was tricked into thinking it was a small, then landing back on medium after checking headtube and wheelbase ;D

But that site doesn't take kindly to this part of the world. I'm in the US, they won't have me... anyone able to poke him on my behalf?

o0 I bet it's real nice too! All of the bikes you've posted (or that I sleuthed on your flickr account) are o_O
I couldn't make out what fork you're running on yours?

I have a feeling I could make an XS work but the small would be ideal. Ubrakes = no noodle

There is are a couple of small XLMs here in the states that are available right now but I'd have to be rid of my '91 medium to make sense of getting it and that feels like trading in the wrong direction.
