For Sale - Rock Lobster 21" 54cm - Crawley, West Sussex

My trusty Rock Lobster is up for a very reluctant sale.
N+1 forces sale.

The current saddle will be swapped out for a Selle Italia.

The Pelago cargo rack is a negotiable element. Comes with the Restrap x Pelago limited edition Rando Bag (17L).
If the rack and bag aren't wanted, they'll move to my commuter.

8 spare tubes and some spare brake pads will be included.

Looking for £400 for the bike. Additional £200 for the rack and bag.

Collection from Crawley, West Sussex.
May be willing to meet nearby or send via a courier - latter would be at buyers expense.

Hi what size is the bike?

Hi Freddie,
I believe it's a 21inch frame - I will double check the measurement when I'm home.
Cheers,
Jason

How tall are you? Just down the road and interested, but might be a bit too small. (I'm 6ft).

I'm a nudge over 5' 6" - there's quite a bit of post still in the tube. I can measure centre of the BB to maxed saddle height when I'm home if that helps?

dibs (assuming the above don't count as dibs)

@King_Saxlingham It's coming in at 83cm from the centre of BB to the top of the saddle with the post set to max.

@wmialil - if the above decline, then dibs it is.

@Freddie92 - can confirm it as a 54cm/21 (and a tiny bit) inch frame.

Ah gonna be to small, shame, beauty of a bike.

Edit, if the buyer doesn't take the rack and bag, id be interested in them.

Gotta undibs I'm afraid. bump

Some misconceptions about size here. MTB sizing is way different to road.

Check the Top Tube length. I ride a (21”) 54cm road bike - but I’d ride a 17” MTB.

A 21” MTB is huge - hence the tiny stem here.

Thanks for the post. I've listed the measurements in both metric and imperial.

It's based on the centre of the BB to top of seat tube.

No misconceptions there, just a personal preference.

I prefer riding a larger MTB frame. The shorter stem wasn't added to reduce my reach, but to improve control and handling.

@King_Saxlingham - rack and bag are available.
No buyer for the bike yet.

Hi,

What I mean is, buyers are using your height to gauge the size of the bike; Which is shrinking your buyer pool. The key measurement is top tube length, not seat tube length. I don’t see TT length mentioned

Traditionally a 21” MTB was the largest size produced.. so would be suited to persons of 6’ plus

Thanks, I'll update with TT measurements when I'm home 👍

dibs if @dan bows out

Oh boy.

So. Much. Want.

Also interested if it's worth a third dibs.

Lovely looking bike for a great price! Perfect for a friend of mine, gonna get back to you as soon as he replies! He could also collect

Another dibs if it's worth anything

yeah top tube length c - c needed to have any idea what size the frame is really

Hey, is the rock lobster available?

I'm also interested... if still available.
