For Sale: Brand new Charge Plug frame (Medium)

I just received my shiny new Charge Plug (2010 Freestyler) through the post and guess what, the frame's massive. Can you believe the seat tube is 59cm for a medium, a medium?!?! When I order a t-shirt I order a medium, when I order a coffee I order a medium. So when I bike I kind of expect a medium, what's the deal?! Rant over...

I'd like to do a straight swap for a 54cm frame. I don't mind it being second hand, but steel is important, so something v.similar to the Plug (minimum lugs and brackets etc), in return for my frame, unused (the metallic maroon colour).

Text or call me 07506 687270 if you can help.

Cool, thanks

Nathan

brand new bike? surely you can send it back and ask for a small... where was it from?

and yea 59 does seem a little on the big side for a medium!

I got a great deal online, but it was the last one. I guess I'm paying the price now - so to speak. I could send it make for a refund but the bike's otherwise awesome and £299 for the complete bike was too good to pass up!

Charge geometries look odd to me - bloody great seat tube and short top tube, sort of like Italian style gone mad!!!

Still, I do have relatively long torso and shorter legs like the sodding ugly duckling...

Good luck with the quest...

Hey, Mike. How's it going. Wondered if you'd be scouting the forums...

It's annoying because aside from the large frame, it's exactly the bike I wanted :o(

I'm looking for a dress shirt for the sodding opera we're going to, which will total to twice what you paid for your bike I reckon - gggrrrggghhh!!!

Hence lurking around on my Mac...

Surely something can be found in the back of your extensive wardrobe? I'll be horrified if you spend that amount on a piece of fabric cut and sewn by a small child in an eastern land!

it might be worth selling on and buying another frame rather than offering the swap. often swaps go un-noticed as someone has to both have the right frame in the right size for sale, as well as want one that is a different size... if you get what i mean?

best of luck either way.

That's a good call. I'll see what happens over the next day, then offer up for sale...

Sadly I don't have an evening shirt for some odd reason - I meant the total cost of the opera, food, wine etc etc - sodding outrageous cost!!

Could go to NWales for a long weekend's climbing for that...

I could go to North Wales climbing for 2 weeks for the cost of the bleeding opera!!
