There are no photos and its a 56 cm seat tube with 59 top tube. Anyone know anything about this one?

The standover height leads me to believe that there is a slope to the TT . I hate it when sellers don't even know how to describe what they have for sale properly.


Looking into a hotel for you right now , you may want to book early as this is Cherry Blossom time in DC. My wife and I are thinking of stuff for you and your daughter to see while in DC. Looks like Saturday will be our Epic ride and your kid can stay here and play with the dog and read a book while we are out.

This is a perfect example of what can go wrong with a "custom" frame set.

This guy could have bought a fairly standard frameset of 58x59 or 59x59. Look at that HT extension. But no, he HAD to have it custom. At the least he could have made it a compact for a shorter SO height. Put a whole 900 miles on it and it's probably close to worthless now. Who wants someone else' custom frame with geekd-out geometry? Sad thing is, he's probably selling it because it doesn't fit him.
