  • Mr Natwest sent me a letter this morning telling me that he will be reducing my interest free overdraft in a week.
    I bought this frame recently with a view to have it hanging about until I could afford to build it up, but I can't even afford to keep it now. So I'll pass it on to another giant.

    Specs are as follows:

    • 65cm seat tube CtC
    • 58cm top tube CtC
    • 27.2 seatpost
    • Nice holed lugs
    • Comes with a half decent headset
    • 120mm spacing (I'm guessing it used to be 126, but still, it can be shifted about a little.

    It's got my wheelbuild on it on this picture - gives you an idea of clearances with 28c. The paint ain't great, but you could easily use it as-is with a little clean up. It would look amazing after a trip to armortex and an hour with some humbrol doing the lugs though.
    **£95 POSTED TO YOUR DOOR VIA SPECIAL DELIVERY **(payment by paypal). If you pay me today I'll aim to have it sent out and with you by tomorrow.

  • What sort of height would this suit?

    You may recall a 6'8" friend of mine is considering gettting a bike.

  • I'm 6"8 and it would have been perfect for me

  • I have forwarded the details, will get back to you.

  • cheers man

  • nice lugs

  • Do you know the rough age of the frame?

  • I would guesstimate late 80's/early 90's, but I'm not sure.

  • is it still going??

  • Yeah - you've got PM

  • Festus, you are the same height as me- we'd both look like we were riding our fathers bike on this?!

  • Relatively short TT in comparison to that huuuge seat tube, *but *I do happen to have a 140mm Cinelli 1A for sale... for any proper giant giants.

  • I saw this on eBay, nice frame but I already have 2 the same size!

  • Still available guys. Anyone? £90 posted today.

  • Im coming to London tomorrow. If you can meet me in the next couple of days you can have it for £65,cash.
    Anyone?

  • Sold to Mr Multi Grooves

  • Oops--Isn't that too big for you, Festus?

  • Just in case anyone was after a big frame and didn't get this...

    I have:

    Blue frame

    Columbus SX

    Seat tube = 63 cm (c-t)
    Top tube = 59 cm (c-t)
    Standover height = 88 cm

    PM me if you're interested.

    ps Sorry to hi-jack but as you've sold it I thought it'd be ok and save on space :)

  • Any pics?

  • Festus are you taking up tall bike jousting?

  • Oops--Isn't that too big for you, Festus?

    He has ridiculously long legs, but normal/slightly long arms, have you not seen how high he has his seatpost lol, thats probably perfect geometry for him.

    We're the same height overall pretty much, but if he gets on my bike he can only get like 70% leg extension when I have it at my normal commuting height, and if I get on his bike my feet can't touch the ground haha!

  • Hmm, so he will have a 58cm Moots Titanium frame going spare will he?

    Dibs say I.
