I sent a message and got no response, so I searched on craigslist and found the listing and sent a message there as well.  I'm interested!

Good luck, Bill. It's a fantastic bike that is one of favorites. I have both the LB and the Romanceur, love them both. In fact, I'm working with a local builder to create a love child between the two bikes, but leaning a little towards the Romanceur with its mid-low trail geometry and larger tire capacity. To make things really interesting we're using the ultra-light Kaisei tubeset offered by Rene Herse.

I've made contact with the seller and something might transpire.  The timing is bad because I'm trying to pare down my stable from 28 down to closer to 20 before I start buying things again.  I was hoping to parlay some trade stuff into it, and throw the frame into storage for a while, but nothing yet.  I have and love my 58cm single speed Lightning Bolt.

Did anything come of this? I'm also interested.

The internet lawyer in me wants to ask, what frame set did you acquire?

I definitely anticipate owning a 58cm Lightning Bolt in the light green color, someday.  That frame set is still available from Crust for $1175, and was on sale for a hot-minute at $950 a little while back.  This price of $800 is a very good price, in my opinion, but I just don't have the space at that price.  If the price was way too good to pass up I might have bought it and hid it in the attic for a while until I deal with my space problems.  I did indeed acquire a frame this week that I felt was too good to pass up.  That was the MSRP $2800 Open WI.DE. which was on sale for $1020.  I couldn't pass that up, and that IS in the attic.
