This is my old road bike frame, to cut a long story short I built it into a singlespeed (resprayed it myself, bought new cranks, brakes etc) only finished it yesterday, went for a short ride and realised that it's way too small for me.... So i'm selling the frame and gonna buy a new one that fits.
Bike was about a year old. Comes with BB, Steel forks, headset, stem, bars, seatpost and saddle (everything in pic basically). It's hanging up to dry in the picture.
Measures 51cm Seattube and 56 cm virtual top tube, it's a compact frame which means it fits more like a 54/55/56. I now ride a 61, and as you can see from the amount of seatpost, it's too small for me. The bike was a Carrerra Virtuoso, halfords bike, costs £300 new. Suprisingly light for a bike with steel forks, I was planning to ride it up into the mountains so wanted a light bike.
Now on ebay:

and if anyone has a 60cm (or thereabouts) road frame, 1 1/8 steerer, made with anything but steel that they've got going spare or looking to sell in the next couple of weeks, pm me.
