Hi

I have a Genesis Flyer 58cm which, although I am 6ft, feel is too big for me. Does anyone out there have a size 56cm they think is too small and would like to swap?!
It is pretty much stock stuff on it apart from shorter stem, lo-riser bars, & rubbino's. If need be I can take everything off and just swap the frame. There are no dents and only a small amount of small scratches, it hasn't been used too much as I was knocked off (by an idiotic pedestrian, no damage to bike at all but managed to break my arm!) a few months after buying it.

All my bikes in the past have been slightly on the small side and this is what I now feel comfortable with. Please help, it feels like I'm on a penny farthing.

Thanks very much for any help!

There is a guy that I have seen posting on a few forums that has a 56 for sale at £250 IIRC? Think it was an up-specced early one? You may make a profit buying that and ebaying yours...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
