The frame is 23" / 58cm - ie "Large". It has been ridden less than 750km so condition-wise practically like new... only few chain marks around BB area.
For the A719 wheels suggestion - I have already a pair of predecessor Mavic T519 36h laced 3x with DT Champion to Coda cartridge bearing hubs. Bombproof but really heavy set, which I will keep as back-up / for the fully-loaded-long-haul.
Still I'm going to build a pair of new wheels as part of this project for bit shorter-haul trekking and commuting - still something reliable but hopefully bit lighter...
...Now got around installing the bottom bracket as well. SQUARE TAPER of course - XTR BB-UN91 (only show mounted, practically NOS/NIB). Debated this shortly against Phil Wood or SKF BAS600, but both cost at least triple compared to this UN91 ebay bargain. Also, this will not be the only XTR part to go into this build ;)
Last photo below also showing the seatpost & stem department - as well as the already mounted CK. Some older Thomson Elite bits - stem is 26mm, not the more common MTB size 25.4mm...A lot of shiny silver, but will be balanced with some black & grey also going forward
