Our good friend Joe Bunik totally hooked me up with one rad frameset that fits me oh-so-well, but it's on the stabler side and can fit 32s with ease. Now that I've got some more room for bikes, I'd like to expand to a punchy, zippy road frame but with roughly the same geometry (aprox. 63cm C-C seat tube, and 58cm C-C top tube).  

Now some might be thinking, but Andy, you have a Waterford 1200 built with mythical Reynolds 753 steel that already fits the bill. Welp I stupidly sold it (but did get confirmation from the seller that they'd sell it back to me should they decide to part with it). Its seat tube was a little short for me at 61cm C-C, so I'm still on the hunt for others. Suppose anyone has something in their collection that fits the geometry, can barely, and I mean barely squeeze a 28mm tire between and has 130/100 spacing w/ vertical or very short horizontal dropouts. In that case, I'd be very very interested! 

Thanks group,

Look for a early Lemond Zurich 61 cm. They are on the big side, will Cypress 700x30 tires, short reach brakes with pads at the bottom of the slots. Zippy, good climber, good no hands riding behavior. Or a Lemond Poprad. Both under the radar brakes.
