Hi all,

As title - looking to buy a commuter style bike - road frame with gears, fitting 6ft 1. Ideally looking for something more retro / vintage styling.

Thanks,
Nick

Yeah happy with downtube shifters or modern! and have previously owned 56 and 58 so 57 is pretty ideal.

I’ve got a complete Goff in Reynolds 531 for £230 plus postage if that’d work? Cheers. T

Got this....it's free, but needs picking up from Nottingham/Newark area. Think it's 56 square.

Bought this recently for £60 from a recycling centre/dump. Bb needs changing and maybe brake pads. I changed the tyres and put security fittings on wheels and seat post. Would be up for £40. Not really been quite right for me. Unsure of the dims. Will check next time I’m with it!
It’s opermanently locked at London Victoria station

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
