Its a 59cm, I'm of average build and about 5ft 11 tall and it fits me perfectly as pictured. I have also previously ridden it with a longer stem and it was still fine.
This is a 1st gen FBM Sword, with the cleaner backend - the tuck in dropouts rather than the new ones which aren't as unique. These are handmade frames by FBM in New York.
I'll be as honest and say the paintwork on the frame/fork is not immaculate. Its never been crashed but its been locked up lots so theres the usual paint wear you come to expect. The rear tyre also has a bit of wear but those tyres are solid and last a long time even with wear.
I have just replaced the bottom bracket and put in a whole new axel kit including bearings in the hear hub so both of these should be good for a long time.
I am based in E3.
