As such, if anyone has a small roadie (i guess a 50-52 cm frame?) post up a description and pic.

Thx

Wow, I guess that would make me a midget. 🙁If that's the case then I'm offended by the use of the word:rofl:

I prefer to refer to myself as "resource conscious."

I require less food, a smaller vehicle, less raw materials for clothing, etc.....

Tall people are responsible for the bulk of global warming and environmental destruction.....as such, you should all be required to offset the damage with "green credits" or something. :rofl:

Hey Tony - I realized after I posted that my use of the word midget might make some folks feel "small". There is history to the use of that word when I am shopping for bikes and it came from Norm. I will let him explain what he said last time I was looking for a small frame bike...

Throwing Norm under the bus are we? I was just kidding about all that.

I wish I can remember what I changed my location to at the time.

My shorter friends are still looking for Norm's real location 🙂

Wow! I never thought of myself as resource conscious. At 5'2" and 130lb I should be receiving all kinds of credits. My bikes should be free. 😀

I ride a Giant TCR1 compact frame. It fits me and was cheap. They have blowouts at the end of the year with odd small sizes. I got my bike complete for $1000 brand new. You may find some on ebay selling dirt cheap.

All you tall people start handing over your cash to me. It will make you all feel all green and smug like your driving a Prius. :getsome:
