Not really sure of price, but how about £75? If that is too much let me know and I will amend, I'm based in Hampton Court/Hersham, so 20 mins from Waterloo. I won't post because i'm lazy (but may change my mind if I can't sell!)

pm sent and provisionally dibsed i believe. i absolutely love the look of this but i think it's too big for me. gah!

23.5 = 59.69cm. i'm 5'10" with stubby legs and normally ride a 56... this is going to be too big isn't it?

weird, it doesn't look like a nigh-on 60cm frame from the headtube.

I measured it and it comes out at 23" although the catalogue does say 23.5"

I am 5'10 with short legs and I can ride it as it is set up in the photos (although not very far with no chain!)

You are more than welcome to come and have a go!

damn that is lovely 2nd dibs if mooks drops out :)

dooks not mooks. man i think i got to go for it. it's right up my street. dorky gold!

opps sorry Dooks :) but fair play lovely bike - quick scrub up and you'll be rocking - damn you and your internet speedism (is that even a word)

i've just bowed out (pm sent). i love it but the sizing is marginal for me and i'm really after something lighter (531 or equivalent). i can't justify cluttering up the flat with yet more "project" bits when it's not *quite *right for me. thanks for the hasty pms sam. hope it goes to a good home. go for it twisty!

Twist305 you are next in line if you are still interested?

Right just to clear up on the sizing...

Its 23.5" (60 cm) CTT or 23" (58 cm) CTC

Still for sale:

Bump and price drop to £60

Pmed.

I'd be interested if the sale doesn't go through.
