Hi everyone. 

Selling a bike I built up for a friend. It's a fantastic rig....just not getting "the attention it deserves" from said friend. Pics and details here:

Sam, I'm 5-6 and I would barely get a leg over that thing, the seattube is almost 56cm. As it's a mountain bike I presume the toptube length is crazy long for us, too, especially with the reach of dropbars added. A 19" mtb of that era is the practical limit for me, and even the '89 Ritchey I had in that size was kinda huge on me.

Sam,
Are you in Portland?
I have an 18' Trek 950 that's pretty much stock I was going to list on CL soon, and a 19" 930 that I need to convert back to 26" wheels that will also be listed soon. Both of these are lugged, US-made True Temper frames - the good stuff. Not that Ant's 850 isn't good - the first mtb I ever bought was an 86 850 in the red/black fade with chainstay U-brakes.

Mike
