What's with the platforms? Bike like that needs a Brooks
I saw a Waterford with Chorus locked up with a 0.5" diameter cable lock. Looked to be at least $4k. I stood over it admiring the ride and couldn't see the owner, not that I looked hard, but who leaves a bike like that unattended?
It is big as I mentioned, but I just remembered the Mootasaurus that I built a while ago. When I worked for a shop a guy brought in a size 64cm Moots he scored on ebay for cheap. I didn't cut the stear-yube on the fork at all, no spacers either, just a stem and a top cap and it fit perfectly. When it came time to test ride it I had to stand on my toolbox just to get on the stupid thing. Funny part is that the guy who owned it was a decent bit shorter than I am, but like bigger frames so he figured it would work out. Two weeks later I sold him a properly sized Moots and tore than one dow so he could put it back on ebay.
N8 sorry for hi-jacking your thread, back to steel frame goodness now.

There is a guy that came into our shop before it closed. He bought a bike for 5 bucks at a yardsale. Some type of old hardtail. It was sized for someone at least 7 feet tall and he couldnt have been more than 5 foot 6. The guy refused to buy a properly sized bike because he "got such a great bargain".
i worked on a Waterford not too long ago. beautiful frame...blue with these hints of lighter shades of blue when the sun hit. unfortunately it had black Nokon housing.
