The fellow who brought his frame by for me to look at forgot to tell me that it had been damaged. He didn't seem to think the damage was significant enough to mention. I decided that several large, quarter-sized dents on the top tube near the seat tube were probably a sign that This Was Not The Frame, and kindly sent him on his way.

Today two things happened:

1. The latest shipment of three Xtracycle kits came in at work. I had more than enough credit saved up, and the other two kits had sold in minutes, so I snapped up the last one for myself.

2. Wandering around in the loft at work, I came across a frameset that I had scored AGES ago -- and then forgot about. It was a 19" frame. The geometry is as old-school as the Peugeot's, meaning that I MAY still have some issues with the placement of the cranks. But since it's a smaller frame, my torso won't be bent forward quite as far as I pedal. I'm hoping this will be enough of a difference for me to make the frame work. I'll build it up as a single bike first and ride it just to make sure. But I'm fairly certain it will fit me better than the Peugeot did.

I brought everything home in my trailer:




If I don't find a buyer for the trailer soon and free up space at home, I'll take it to the shop to sell there. Then I'll get to make the cool visual statement about taking the folded-up trailer away on the back of my Xtracycle, which will be hilarious and perfect.
