For Sale: 52cm Carlton Track Bike

Cheers, must be wrong time of year

hello - biff's female housmate here. Indeed a pretty bike. I am 162 cm, can you do a qualified guess on whether the bike is too big for me? The standover height is a couple of centimeters more than my inner leg measure, and I would say my torso counts for an average ratio of my full height.

Very likely to be too big I'm afraid.

^ What ed said, unfortunately

Yep got one below. Its a road frame, not track, haven't seen one this small so couldn't resist buying it. Paints pretty shabby, I'm touching up the worst of it and throwing on a cheap 80's 105 gruppo for the winter - Plan to get it re-sprayed properly and some nicer component's in the spring.

(This Raleigh is not for sale)

BOOOO thought it was going to be a track one.
Still nice though!

Tom, that Raleigh will go fast, backwards...

Worthy bump.

Dibs that beautiful Carlton for a friend, he can't pm yet, but i will in a sec.

is this bike still available...? i would be able to get someone to pick it up over the weekend.

thank you!! question is, has it sold....?! i am about 5 6" so i think it should be the right size....? is this bike pretty light? sorry lots of questions!! i'm pretty new to this bike business! love everything about this bike!!

Whats your inside leg? I'm about 5' 7'' I can stand over it with about an inch of clearance. It's reynolds 531 so reasonably light for a steel frame - Components are middle of the road so nothing particular lightweight, but it's all alloy (Cranks/Hubs/Rims/Bars/Stem/Seatpost)
