Hello everyone. I am looking for a 54 Homer frameset if anyone is looking to move one. I don't care what color it is.

Thank you Matthew,
I have seen these listing but am beginning to think I will be waiting until the new Homers come in in late Spring unless someone has a saluki they are looking to move. I have found a good saluki but it alas it is for the whole bike and a bit on the high side. I might just bite the bullet and get it anyway.
Best,
Rob

It's sort of keeping me up at night to be honest. If I could sell my 55 soma grand randonneur quickly, it would help.

Not that you are asking, but I say go for it! It's better for the world to buy used things rather than new (plus a special one with pointier lugs)...

Yeah. I just send the owner an email. Can't help it anymore.

But now it saying that the IP address is blocked. I have no idea if it is referring to mine or his. He had said that he was possibly selling both his bikes this weekend, so maybe he did. I should have pulled the trigger

Hm, I just tried going through the CL email and didn't run into any issues. Maybe the listing was updated and the old link got broken?

The ad is still active so I just emailed him and cc'd you. 

Hopefully he'll respond to both of us; if he only replies to me I'll forward his contact information to you.

Or he blocked me somehow. No idea.

Seems to have gone through, no bounce back message this time.

Matthew Williams, do let me know if he writes you back. Pretty much my dream bike since I stupidly sold my 56 Bleriot ten years ago or so. Worst move I ever made.

Go get that bike! There's a surprising dearth of these pre-MIT Homers on the used market, especially in the smaller sizes. Buy it, keep it, ride it! 

PS. But make sure you fit it. Old 54cm AHH is a very different size from the current MIT model. It won't fit like your 56cm Bleriot.
