I know, some people really don’t know how to write simple ads. It looks small, though. 53 would be my guess.

53 is an excellent size for bicycles. Especially anti-gravity ones.

Looks like a good deal on your first road bike, but act fast. he changed his price from $100 to $250, not as good as a deal

Or this LeMond Poprad CX full bike, 57cm with Sora components for $150. What’s going on?

Those are both absolutely stupid deals. The second ad almost sounds legit except for the price. The first one… meh.

This looks too good to be true. Don’t know much about LeMond sizing…if a 55 cm Bianchi is just a hair too big for me (standover height wise, length is actually good), then would this bike fit me? Could it be made to fit with a different stem perhaps?

Lemonds are typically long bikes. I don’t know what year that is, but a post I found (http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=106298) suggests that top tube is 578mm on the 2005 57cm. That looks to be longer than a 58cm Bianchi Volpe, so I’m guessing that this would not work. Of course ETT isn’t everything, but it’s typically the measurement I rely on.

Looks like a 57cm 1987 Bridgestone 550 fixie conversion for $140.
