Mike & Ray:

Is it me or are some people getting reeaaallll picky. Anyway here some points why that GC did not make the grade.

1. This GC is so new it was made from 3V parts. Look at the stay connector in-between the chain stays.

2. Welded cable guides on the top tube.

3. The Groupo was pretty much a potpourri of parts

4. It was a 60cm ( how many 6'3 guys on bikes are out there.) All you Wilt Chamberlin's out the ...no harm no foul.

5. Most important that paint job was pretty beat up. So buyer beware...who knows whether the frame is straight ! in other words you might be calling Baylis sooner than you think. (BTW Brian e-mail the seller he need your services).

6. Last but not least e-Ritchie hates the crown on the fork of that ERA of 'GC'. Am I correct on that Richard?

Any other Masifiles may chime in at any time.
