So after riding this around for a month I've realised that the bloke I bought it from was misinformed/telling porkies, and it's definitely too small for me. I make it a 17.5' rather than the 19' I thought it was.
So, picked up this '97 Eldridge Grade 19' yesterday for £100 (smattering of XT/LX bits) and plan to do a parts swap at some point.
Or...having just gone to collect a wheelset on it and experienced the pure practicalities of its current configuration, do I do the least LFGSS thing ever and keep it as is??
