The pink 50.6 with the 57 top tube that is now on clearance is a screaming deal for the person that will fit it.  If I were not hips deep in my own venture I would be working pretty hard to figure out how to bring this into the stable.  This is the ideal long and low for somebody about 5'3", confirm PBH.  My wife would love this, and the added length is perfect for knee clearance when using a front mounted baby seat like the BoBike mini.  If you have a person in your life in this size range, particularly with a little person or little person pending, this could be the kind of bike that changes their perspective on what a bike can be for decades to come.  Heck, any body looking to set it up with a bosco or Albatross bar just for getting around. 

I looked at long and hard last night, and again this morning, if this were about 3 years ago, this bike would have been on its way to my garage, like everything timing

The longish TT is somewhat balanced by the note on rivbike that it is designed for swept back bars like albatross, dove, or similar. Not a drop bar design.

It inadvertently presages the HS/Bosco/Mystery Bike, without the diagatubes. There's so much about this frame that I like, but the price, the color... Somebody else is going to have to go there.

I am curios if others are still seeing this thread, or if it only has disappeared from what I see on google groups?  or if I am just having technical trouble?  Or if including my URL in my sig is getting me moderated out?

If we did not recently get a 52cm Betty Foy I would be all over the frame. The Betty is a 57.5 virtual TT so somewhat similar idea. 

May have to stop at RBW next week just to check out the paint job.

Man, that thing sure is pretty. If it hangs around long enough I might have to man up; buy it; put a Bullmoose Bosco on; and fly that color proudly. "Dude, you know that bike is pink, right?" 'Dude, you know that carbon fork is stupid, right? Have a nice day.'
