I think it is your size. If not, Dave Thompson, Ken Robb or SoCalSteve may be interested...

X0-s were made in '92 and '93, this is the '92 with caliper brakes. This bike began the revolution that has evolved to the present with Rivendell All-Arounders, Kogswell, and so many ohters, now the 650B bikes, which were the inspiration for this bike. You'll notice that the 559mm/26" tires start to look disproportionate on the larger sizes. A comparable thing happens over 60cm with 650B. And the _further_ evolution will appear soon from Rivendell addressing the glories of 650B (large volume, low air pressure tires) but with a larger frame and a 700c. More about this when I'm allowed to speak more freely.

Thanks for the head's up, 93L, these are great bikes in their own right and, well, while many thought they were eccentric and anchronistic, they have proven Grant Petersen visionary and committed to alternative ways of thinking about cycling.

Any time. I know this type of bike is your thing. You probably already have 2 of these, right? :)

It's a 59 c-t so it's a bit short for me.

Ditto for me too.

I'm more of a 60 x 60 guy with a "jerk approved" 130mm stem.

Thanks for the thought though.

Thank you for the link....But, I have a Seven Axiom on the way, a CSI that still needs to be built up and I am running out of room in the garage for any new acquisitions. I have 6 places in the garage and 2 places in the house and then either I buy a bigger house, expand the garage or divorce the wife and take over her office. Any suggestions?

Ceiling hooks! And next time your wife buys an Armani or CK suit, instead of asking "how much?", do what I do. Ask" "Honey, why didn't you get 2?" 14 bikes and my wife has never complained once. All she says is "enjoy"!

Funny you should mention this...

Her office started out as my "bike room" until I met her, got engaged and she moved in. Then my bike room became her office that was shared with a few bikes. Then my bikes got relegated to the garage ceiling (6 spaces).

So, unless you want to duke it out with her (and she knows kick boxing and Krav Magra). She will take you down!

Krav Maga is the official self defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces, and has been taught to hundreds of law enforcement agencies and thousands of civilians
in the United States.

Krav Maga is a simple, effective self
defense system that emphasizes instinctive movements, practical techniques, and realistic training scenarios.

It's back: it is real and it is spectacular!And it was supposedly already sold at this auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/1992-Bridgestone-XO-1-New-in-box-never-opened_W0QQitemZ7241643411QQihZ015QQcategoryZ98084 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) . There is no explanation why it is relisted. There were two bidders on the first auction and it would be surprising if the original bidder fell through and they didn't do a second chance offer to the other bidder. So the unopened box is now up on eBay for the second time -- too many red flags for this auction.

Yes, a Capt. (woman) from the IDF is staying with us tonight. You are right.

Re: Krav Magav, the undercover counter terror officer from the IDF also here tonight describes Krav Magav as an offensive self-defense discipline designed to disable an opponent with maximum speed.

"...This was listed on eBay in May as new in box and never opened. The winning bidder backed out of the auction with the following notice.
Previous Winning Bidder 'I do have a problem completing the auction. The bike isn't what I thought it was and I was confused by the listing. I apologize for my poor form in this transaction. Can I compensate you for this? I would be happy to pay a small fee if we can mutually agree to cancel the auction.'..."
