Yeah, I'm not exactly in the market for a short person bike. Actually, I match the BP fit very closely. But that bike reminds me of :

which I love dearly

Just got the official annoucement on the team bikes. Must have oredered by Oct 10. C-dale CAAD9 frame/fork headset and BB30 bottom bracket. If 10 people on the team order CAAD9's or 10 SuperSixes (doutfull) we get custom team graphics. Price too good to mention. I think I'm gonna do it and hold off on the IF replacement until later. They're not rushing me to replace mine and it'll give me time to get rid of all my old stuff.

650B? Whacky bicycle "standards".
Tester was 5'-2" with a 30" inseam.
I'm 5'-8" with a 30" inseam.
Long legs I ain't.
Tester was also a Monster rider, just for da record -
http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=1537.msg117243#msg117243
That 650B seems to be an answer in search of a problem -- not to say I wouldn't want to try one, but does it really benefit riders to push a third wheel/tire standard for mountain bikes?

Give me a shout when you start the fire sale. I'm sure I'll be looking for bits.

It's a bit of a pond at the moment.
Cross racing is nuts. Fun to watch though.

Standing in the pit watching people suffer with frozen muddy snot all over thier faces. I'm reffing most of the local CX events this fall/winter. So far all the CR's have put me in the pits. I guess I start at the bottom!

Don't think of it as running, think of it as controlled falling -- I start to think I'm in the groove on barriers when it's all I can do to keep my feet underneath me after coming in WAY too hot. Of course, there is that big scar on my cheekbone (here's a tip: in a fight between your face and a solid wooden barrier, don't bet on your face) to remind me that I should practice that a whole bunch in the off season before trying it in a race.
I hear what you're saying about the uber-competitive types making it less fun, but one of the cool things about 'cross (and a lot of MTB racing for that matter) is that you're almost always in a race with somebody, even if you're not at the front. Not at all the same in road racing, where if you're not up where the race is being won or lost you're basically a bike tourist (though in a whole lot more pain). One of my favorite racing memories is the hard-fought battle I had with three other guys for fiftieth-something place at the CX national championship 40+ race in Baltimore a few years back. We knew that none of us would be pulling on a champion's jersey that day, but we made a memory out of every corner & every little victory or defeat along the way.
FGR, say hello to my Coppi brothers & sisters at the Tacchino this year -- I miss that race.
Or are you working or racing the Giro in Barnesville tomorrow? I'm still on the team listserve, and watching the growing tide of angst reminds me how little fun it was to direct that race...

That any two-wheeled pursuit that requires me to don that much armor had better have a motor involved.
