Save my marriage and buy this bike before I do! 700c with clearance, lugs, 63cm, threaded fork, no toe overlap... for 400 bucks new?

Oooh that's tempting!

Given that I'm still trying to convince my wife that the pile of junk in the corner of the garage just "magically" transformed into my new-to-me Quickbeam I'd be in serious trouble too if yet another new bike showed up!

it's only 100 less than the price listed on velo orange, and i am not convinced by a standard downtube on a 63cm bicycle.

but i'm sure it planes. because it's "french" and "low-trail" and "rando"

ooo....

I looked at the picture. Seems to me that the current owner could replace that longish stem with something 2-3 cm. shorter (maybe more) and the bike would work out fine.  Those bars are way forward.
