Complete bike (with rack). I've used it as my commuter/beater/workhorse for about 2 years and it's been a reliable ride.
Seat tube - 53cm ctt
Top tube - 53cm ctc
.
Fairly low end vitus tubing, but robust - there is a slight ding in the top tube, and plenty of lockmarks/ scuffs, but it's still got that striking red glow. Simplex deraileurs, stronglight cranks/rings, weineman brakes (I think). Mavic 501 hubs on Rigida rims. Marathon Plus tyre on the rear, and some old Hutchinson on the front, which has proven long lasting. Currently has a 7-speed casette, although it's indexed such that the highest gear isn't used as the frame was probably designed for 5-speed, and it gets a little tight towards the stay. Bars could do with a re-tape - I can throw in some black Condor tape I was going to use for the job.
