mmm Porn worthy

Marie I'm just trying to work out frame sizing for my good lady and I was wondering how tall you are? If you don't mind ;)

Ohh this again! Nooooooo, don't sell it! (only joking - good luck)

i was remembering the same!
good luck with the sell, you were right in the end marie!

5ft 8" with 33" legs, but it's a touch small for me (though a longer stem would have sorted it out, I couldn't be bothered to change from the 70mm one I had). Would suit someone about 5ft 4" to 5ft 9" I guess, depends on legs I suppose?

Ohh this again! Nooooooo, don't sell it! (only joking - good luck)

Built it up singlespeed in the end, eventually turned the wheel over and learned to ride fixed-gear on it, now realised I need a slightly bigger frame, no heart break in the sale this time :D

It remains an utterly gorgeous frame. Good luck with the sale.

no heart break in the sale this time :D

Oh thank goodness.

Daytime bump

tad too big for me..

damnit! only a couple cm too big!

If it helps re: the sizing, I rode it on the road with drop bar brake levers, rather than cross-top ones, which made the reach much longer than usual on a track bike. I think that someone a bit smaller than me could comfortably ride it with a short stem, bmx lever and short seatpost, there are lots of options for getting a good smaller/larger fit on it :)

snowy rides a 52cm Vigorelli. and he's even shorter than me!

Again?

Such a lovely bike, I may know somebody who'd like this, I'll send them a message, not sure of their budget though.

pm'ed you, so nice

Little update - A number of offers are in, so I'll be letting people know the result tomorrow lunchtime. If anyone else wants to ask a question, or throw in an offer in the meantime feel free to PM. Thanks!

I'll offer 50p, ok, done deal ? :-))))

If the 50p comes sticky-taped to a Condor Pista frame, then yes :)

i pretty much just ordered EXACTLY the same thing.

SOLD, thanks.
