You can find it all at ebay. It's funny that people will buy this crap.....me included.

The second most foolish person is the one who buys it and rides it.

The most foolish person is the seller who will make but a small amount on the sale of the bike and place himself or herself in the position of facing a very large claim for potential injuries due to the condition of the frame.

I bet someone from Nigeria will want to buy it for a lot of money with a cashiers check and you just have to send the overage.

[Jeff Weir]

I think that frame is Dave Thompson's size.

[Sandy]

Please find out if I can buy it for Kevan. :)

Carbon seat pin and bingo your worries are over ;)

[Jeff Weir]

Sandy,

If there was a "buy it now" option, my Christmas shopping for Kevan would be over.

I would run like hell from any steel Ciocc of that vintage, repaired or otherwise. I was given 2 frames by a sponsor many years ago and they both eventually broke, the first within a year. I'm not a big guy.
