If cross bike

[shinomaster]

This one on e-bay interests me... it's ebay number 7208612388 (sorry can't get link to post) It looks like it might fit me pretty well. It has kinda wacked outgeometry...so maybe they are selling it cause rides terribly..What do you guys think? Looks better than my Fuji! It's steel too.

I always wanted an IF cross bike when I lived in Boston..

pretty much stock geometry for an IF cross bike. i was looking at one a few years ago and I remember those numbers.

that top tube is 5 or 6 centimeters to short for you :banana:

Sacha...I'm so ashamed of myself.

Sacha. I decided the other day that when I get a Vanilla bicycle it will be a cbeautiful road bike. I'm just not worth a 2000 dollar beautiful cross bunny.

Is right. It's a stock 54 which has a sloping top tube. The Stand over height is a cm taller than my fuji.. Cross geometry is so confusing. I guess its a pretty big bike. I don't see why you would want a sloping TT on a cross bike?

it needs a better paint job too.

it could be worse...It could be neon orange. Ha ha..

In stock cross geometry have high BB's,making standover high.The slope is to try to reduce the standover.

For the record it looks like a good bike I was just giving you a hard time.

I must have over slept. No, I didn't get it. I decided that I wan't to shop around a bit more. It sold for $700..even with those terrible photographs.
