Mathew, thanks. I think he bought this from a guy that lives close by me. I was told that he had put it up for sale at higher price than he paid, so this looks like the one. Same size, color, etc. I will pass but I do appreciate you thinking of me. On the list we used to always give good deals and take care of each other in the old days, going back to the original iBob list. The frame is very nice but I don’t know if I will like a mixte riding position if it is mostly upright. I will wait, being retired does make me budget conscious. I am currently waiting to see how my last back treatment takes, so far it is slow but I am riding. I generally ride at about 50-60 degrees, I don’t find 90 very comfortable.
Thanks again for thinking of me.
