What size person would this suit? :-) I'm 6"2 to 6"3 (depending on your tape measure), and only have mountain bikes (genesis IO is my SS) so I have no clue on road/cross bike sizings, and from what I've read this may be a tad small for me? I must have a strange shaped body as I fit onto a 19in genesis (a nearly too small but can chuck it about nicely), and a 20in Charge Duster (comfortable, fits like a glove).

Marvellous....... Stupidly stupid question, can one side be turned into non fixed? No knowledge of double fixed, hence daft question to those that know.....
Yes the threading is the same but for fixed there is less of it (half of the thread on a fixed hub is for lockring). From all I've heard it should be fine to put a freewheel on a fixed threaded hub, but for peace of mind make sure you get a decent freewheel so there is less chance of stripping the thread or similar problems.

Thanks Upstart and DFresh for your tech help!
@Japseye, I havent heard back from your mate yet.... Have just sent him an email though.
So bottom line is bike is still up for grabs! Come on folks, I need rid of this by this weekend.
Not splitting as it just not worth it, good price et al.Get me.. ;-)

SOLD
Pearson Touche 09¹, 56cm black frame.
I've used this as my main bike for the last few years.
Fantastic and versatile too - mud guards, panniers n all that if you like)
Frame is in great overall condition, I have put tape over the logos to chill it out a bit so might look tatty but all good nick.
*Carbon forks and seatpost. Rear wheel/hub is double fixed.
Cranks are Campy Strada converted.
Bars have been chopped down to silly width but I kind of like it that way.
Brake lever and callipers are Tektro.
Saddle is Planet X fizik copy. *I have a knobbly rear Bontrager cross tyre on rear,
this as a hangover from last winter. Happy to change back to road, but again I quite like it so your call.
Atac pedals not included but i have some BLB track pedal i'll throw in.
Only negatives are wheels could do with true'ing not bad though.
Seat post is a little stiff to shift, it*does move but with effort.
