Thanks everybody! I revisited the Trek/Waterford/Gunnar dealer today. The owner was there, and it turns out he had a 50cm Schwinn Peloton frame in his storage room. It's a 2000 model, but was never built. We're going to transfer my 105 group to the new bike, and they're going to make sure everything fits. I got lucky. Reynolds 853 steel with a carbon fork(he added one) for a decent price. I'm looking forward to riding comfortably... :-) A GUY IS SELLING A 50cm SCHWINN PELOTON 2000 MODEL FRAME ONLY. THE PROBLEM IS HE DOESN'T KNOW THE STAND OVER HEIGHT. YOU hAVE THE BIKE BUILD UP ALREADY. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS THE STAND OVER HEIGHT? MY INSEAM (BAREFOOT) IS 29 1/4" (I'M SHORT). -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

Well, if you're happy standing on your toes and shouting (which is how it comes across when you post in all caps), it's probably fine! :) OK, more seriously, if the guy is selling a 50cm bike, there's an implication that he has access to it. All he has to do is toss a couple wheels onto it (no other parts required). That plus a tape measure and you've got standover height. Just measure from the floor to the top of the top tube. 5 minutes tops. No rocket science involved. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles http://www.ChainReactionBicycles.com "BIGDIEFER" wrote in message ... Slider2699 wrote: Thanks everybody!
