Michael,

That's not what Steph was asking.  He didn't ask for opinions on whether you
felt the zippered window was necessary.  He asked if it would fit on a '69
frame!

Given the severe problems reported to this list with Caribou's customer
service in the last few months, I'm curious to learn even IF you get it...
Has your credit card already been charged for the purchase?  Or is Caribou
cleaning up their act?

Cheers,
