Road bicycle wanted

[Altezza-Dan]

If anyone has one in good condition lying around in a shed they are not using, let me know and i can buy it off you, would need to be a large frame suitable for 6ft3 lad! Looking for something in good condition, 2-3 years old max. If you have something let me know

I did in 2010 and stupidly bought a mountain bike, not very commuter friendly! I'd say no more than 500 quid, as its a 2nd bike and will probably only get used for the next few months while there is a stretch in the evenings

I have this sitting in my shed - probably been on the road 3 times

[Altezza-Dan]

what size frame though?

 

[STiBrian]

I'll have to measure it tonight - I think large

 

[Altezza-Dan]

sure let me know when you can

 

[STiBrian]

I'll text you later once I've measured it. Is large frame big enough for you or do you need xl?

 

[Altezza-Dan]

depends on what they call a Large, ive been told i need something at least 58cm

 

[STiBrian]

large is only 55.5 in the Giant range so will be too small for you

 

[Altezza-Dan]

probably too short for me so, the search continues!

 

[STiBrian]

Not even close I'm afraid, my frame is only medium
