"Bianchi Brava 18-speed"
8-speed with a triple makes 24 unless there's some new convention for
not counting cross-chained cogs.
Best of luck with your procedure.

I'm 5'11" and it's all in my legs. I was running 150 mm cranks on that
bike for a while, which put my saddle even higher than usual, so I
really needed the tall stem.
Now that I'm crippled, my legs have become much weaker and this also
calls for a higher handlebar stem.

That's a Nitto Technomic, the most popular stem we sell. A GREAT
product.

It is a very nice bike.
How tall are you? I didn't know they made quill stems that were that long
before.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa...but I'll try to shift some of the blame
to Google Groups's confusing interface. I thought I was posting to
../ketplace, only noticed the error a few milliseconds after
clicking on "Post message"

You can always try usenet's "cancel" function, but it won't affect any of
the replies with your original message embedded.

That hasn't really worked for over a decade. The internet is just
too fast these days and most nntp sites don't honor cancel messages
from remote sites any more since they are far too easy to
forge.

JFTR, I was kidding. I see no reason why it's inappropriate for a long-time
(and then some) regular like yourself to alert group members to such a sale.
Gorgeous bike; hope it finds a good new home...
