Do you laugh at those puny 62cm frames and their wimpy little 180mm cranks?

Yes, those are 700c wheels, even if they look like 650c.
64 cm top tube
31cm head tube
200mm cranks


(not mine; just impressed.)

I wanted this bike so badly but had to settle for the International b/c I couldn't afford the Pro.



Now I can afford it but the CFO would skin me.

You could take a hacksaw to the head tube extension and it would almost be like a "normal" 62cm bike... after rolling new threads into the fork.

those were my thoughts exactly for someone looking for a 64cm top tube bike.

Zinn might be the go to guy for big bikes, but the look of his bikes really turns me off.

Seller has certainly left plenty of room to compromise on price with any potential buyer...

Don't want to get in a bidding war with anyone here. Anyone else going for it?

I saw that. HT and TT just a bit too long, otherwise I might bid...in spite of the fact I need another bike like a hole-in-the-head. Good score if it fits!

Talked to the seller about it when it first went up. He used to be on the Paceline. Not sure why he didn't list here instead of eBay. If the HT were shorter I'd be wrastling you for it, but alas, too long for what I'd use it for... Happy Sniping

Is the head tube really too long? I think I ride the same size as you two. I wish I could get in touch with the seller here and save 10%...

It's 22cm, add 3.4cm for the HS, and that's getting pretty tall for me for a go-fast bike, which is what I'd want out of a Legend. Your fit desires may vary

The seller was interested in seeing where the auction goes, at least that's what they told me - saved me from an impulse buy anyway

... plus the ACTUAL TT is 60cm, so with 2 degrees of slope, that'd put the virtual TT at close to 61cm...just too darn long for me.
