Well, after a short lived love affair with this bike I have decided I need
to sell it and go back to a bike with a mesh seat and slightly more
upright
riding position.
Those of you not familiar with this brand, take a look at their website:

Optimas are made in The Netherlands, the land of the low racer.

Bill, it looks like a super bike and I have always wanted one of these types
of bikes, but I can't ride them because I will get numb feet after about a
half hour or so from the high BB. I would be curious as to why you are
selling this bike. Was it that the high bottom bracket was causing foot
numbness for you or was it just other comfort problems (maybe neck pain) or
handling problems (balance, steering, ergonomics).
