[Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY]

I want this very much. Not mine, probably never will be...

Wow!  That is really a tall bike -- makes my 67-68 cm bikes look puny!    ;) 

A decent Riv-standard build, with a few minor cosmetic issues -- at a $3750 ask I think the seller is perhaps a bit too ambitious, but on the other hand 71 cm frames are not exactly common, so...

I book marked it out of curiosity, but like Kai, this one will not find a home with me.

Yeah, this would get me the fistful of seatpost that's so very desirable..  and, like the seller says, it would be a custom order now, so maybe someone will bite. I would if I could, but if I could I'd likely get the custom it's only slightly cheaper than. 

The real question is- Who's got a nasty rusted 71 (or 69, and rusty isn't a requirement) they're looking to unload on the cheap?! Your beater could be my dream bike. Get in touch please, I WTB!

I have the identical Homer in 66cm. Like the seller I am 6'6" but would love to try this one out. If I was closer this would be a great trade opportunity and end his his 7 year suffering.
