WTB: 49cm road bike - high end carbon or steel.

[JeremyS]

I'm doing a favor for a friend of mine and sourcing her a bike to replace her stolen road bike.

49 or 50cm TT, carbon or ti or high end steel. Would prefer not a Trekalizediant. Cannondale is cool.

Let me know what you got. Complete bikes are obviously preferred or I'm going to have to build the thing for her.

Ar eyou looking for 700C?

a 700C bike with that short of a TT might have some geo issues.

Yup, I second that. I have an IF CJ ti I bought used, 43cm frame with 700c wheels. Toe overlap is a major issue. My other CJ's in that size have 650 wheels, no toe overlap there.

Here is a killer deal on a small 700c bike in my local CL:

You decide whether it will fit your friend. It all depends on how Ibis measures its frames.

[bargainguy]

Nice, but the TT is 52.6 for 47cm frame according to the Ibis website. That's probably a dealbreaker for someone wanting 49-50. It would be for me - my preferred dimensions are TT < 50.

Jeremy,

My wife is selling her Serotta Colorado 50 cm TT, minimal toe overlap. DA 7402 8sp solid bike. very good care (she is almost obsessive about her bikes, good for me).

Here's the listing, I can email any other shots you want.

My friend has refined her range to newer carbon / steel / ti - preferably with 1 1/8 threadless steerer, and if a full bike, campy.

Yeah that's a killer deal. I'm checking the numbers on her stolen Giant TCR to see what the ETT on that was.

I think the smallest Giant TCR top tube length is still 515mm. Was it an XS?

Parlee is blowing out Z5 frames at the moment, because next year, they're apparently all going to have internal routing. I just picked up a XS f/f/hs for my wife for $2000 from the LBS. Ridiculous!

I have a fantastic condition custom TET Cycles Cirrus frameset in size 49cm. PMed.

I can get you a closeout Parlee Z5 if you wish...

[JeremyS]

$2000 complete is the budget. I can probably push her to $2500.
