I bought from original owner in 1974. Fair condition, not great. Come pick it up and it is yours (Spring, TX). Or pay me shipping to send it to you. E-mail for details or if you have any questions.

Hi - 99% of the time when somebody is discussing a 27" frame they have looked at the wheels and seen 27" on them. 27" frames are pretty rare beasts. (Target and KMart ads are the most notorious abusers of this statistic.) In case you don't already know, the frame size is measured along the seat tube, which is the tube the seat post goes into. The frame measurement is taken from the center of the crank axles (the pedal arms) up the seat tube to the top (some people use the center) of the top tube. The top tube is what a guy pays attention to when he is getting on/off the seat (so he doesn't hurt himself - if ya know what I mean). If this is truly a 27" frame I would probably make a trip up there to fetch it. I'm not exactly sure what I would do with it since I really have all the bikes I need. But since I am 6'6" I do know about tall bikes and do have some tall friends who might want to fix up a bike and ride it. The 'unfortunate' thing about bikes this old is that these steenk'n bike manufacturers have made so many changes to the dimensions of rear clusters, chains, and deraileurs that these old bikes can be tricky to get parts for. It gets even worse because these changes have weakened the rear wheels which is particularly unfortunate for 'big' folks who can put more strain on their rear wheels. Anyway, I'd hate to see this big frame go to waste and wouldn't mind 'warehousing' if for somebody else who is tall and *really* needs a tall frame. Thanks.
