    relatively email inept. Price is $1200. See his description below.
    Thanks for looking, Brian

    "Here's what I have to say about the bike-

    It is a finely crafted steel frame that follows the classic European road
    race tradition of bicycle fabrication. Meaning it is a bike that while it
    can more than hold it's own in a criterium dogfight it is truly at its


    best

    on a rolling and flowing course; stable and more importantly balanced.
    Balance is a oft-forgotten attribute that seems to be displaced in the


    quest

    for lightest bike possible. What it may lose in razor sharp twitchiness
    around the average industrial park melee it gains in carving down mountain
    descents at 50+ mph. The responsive, yet compliant virtues of a well made
    steel frame may not be the fashion of the moment, but should be


    overlooked.

    The 853 tubeset is a synthesis of compliance in soaking up road vibration
    and stiffness when it is time to put the power down.
