Acquired this from the original owner recently.
Have to face the fact that it is too small for me. Key dimensions are:
Seat Tube 54.5 cm ctc
Top Tube 55cm ctc
I am looking to trade this bicycle for a machine of similar quality from a top British builder - Ephgrave, Jack Taylor, Cottingham that sort of thing - no foreign shite.
I need something that is close or equal to 57cm square.
The paint on this bike has seen better days - there are quite a few touch-ups and the paint has 'crackled' in places.
Also, the groupset is a mix of Shimano bits, and not really the sort of thing you would expect on a bike of this quality. Having said that this bike was built, and bought to be ridden, and that is has been set up for.
In addition, it is a Hetchins, and the quality of the workmanship is superb. I am really disappointed this bike is too small for me, as I would love to ride it. A selection of images below - I look forward to hearing from anyone who has a similar bike that's too big for them.
Cheers.
