Hi, All---

I'm a bidder on the auction and this morning I emailed the seller via ebay, asking him to post the dimensions of the captain and stoker's seat and top tubes (and not merely respond to respond to me). No word yet, but hopefully it'll show up soon...

Doesn't look gigantic to me b/c of the 650B wheels. I'm guessing 60-61 captain and maybe 57-58 or so stoker...but as I say, it's just a guess.

Cheers,

Peter Jourdain Whitewater, Wisconsin US of A
