    We have a Freedom, CA made Easy Racers Tour Easy. My wife rode this one on two Cycle Oregon Rides. 27 speed, Deore XT rear, Shimano 105 front, SRAM Rocket grip shifters, frame bag, upgraded Cobra seat,

    The pros: wife weighs only 112 LBS so the bike has been ridden gently. Comes with Zipper fairing, frame is 99% flawless,

    The cons: It does have two smallish tears in the seat cover. Does not include pictured bottle cages, lights, and bell. Fairing has a couple small creases and scratches.

    $1200 plus packaging and shipping

    I'm guessing extra small. Not going to fit you Jon.


    How to Measure Your X-seam

    Supplies Needed:
    You will need a tape measure and a board that is approximately 30" to 48" long (an ironing board will work).

    1. Place one end of the board on the floor, then put the entire board flush against any wall.

    2. Pull the bottom of the board 14" to 16" out away from the wall. This should simulate a comfortable reclined
    position similar to what you would have when driving a car.

    3. Pull your butt tightly against the bottom of the board (by holding the board steady in its position with your
    hands, while gently scooting your butt against the board).

    4. Extend your legs straight out (no bending of the knees), and point your toes straight up towards the ceiling.
    (It will be necessary to remove your shoes for this step).

    5. Now take the measurement from the base of the reclined board to the bottom of your shoeless heel.
    The measurment (in inches) that you come up with is your X-Seam.
    Hint #1
    – You can place a book at the base of your heel before you have straightened out your legs, then
    once your legs are straight, you can get up and make take the measurement from the board’s base to the
    point that your heel left the book.

    Hint #2
    – You may want to repeat the measuring process from start to finish, to insure that your “X-Seam”
    measurement is correct, if only for your peace of mind.
    X-Seam
    XX-Small------------------------------------------33" to 36"*
    X-Small--------------------------------------------35" to 38"*
    Small-----------------------------------------------36.5" to 39.5"
    Small/Medium-----------------------------------38" to 41"
    Medium--------------------------------------------39" to 42"
    Medium/Large-----------------------------------40.5" to 43.5"
    Large-----------------------------------------------41.5" to 45"
    X-Large--------------------------------------------44" to 48"*
    XX-Large------------------------------------------46" to 50"*
    *
    XX-Small, X-Small, X-Large, and XX-Large bikes an extra $100 material/labor cost.

    My wife is about 5' 1/2".

    Hope that helps.

    XS is X-small

    That is a fair price, in my opinion. I've had several and own a GRR.
