Hi
I've been riding all winter with a frame that is slightly too big for me, like one size.. It's a 58 and I would need a 56.
All this month was not too bad but was more like riding a road bike rather than a track one... a bit less control and more weight on the arms too strached forward.
the frame is nothing incredible, is a aluminium frame with carbon forks (non full carbon) the geometry is not really tight, and both frame and forks have clearance for mudguards. I bought the frame from Surosa (non De Rosa :-(( ) the fork is a non branded Alpina 1" non threaded. It is a bit of a mix between track and road geometry, pretty good to ride on the road. drilled fork and rear brake, 58 X 58 with 2cm slooping. Would be a good single speed build. paid for it 260 in november willing to swap for something on the same value/price range just slightly smaller with track or track-ish geometry....
I'm going to add some pictures tomorrow!

Ps it's cobalt blue

ok, here are the pictures, as you can see just few tiny scratches on drop outs and chainstay due to locking it around, no dents and never crashed:

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

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