63 cm dawes super galaxy.
Seatpost is fluted and short and an odd size and I'm selling it soon, so the BB to top-of-saddle is 81.5-83cm only.
any good? too big?
The seattube is very slack, and its a 1978 frame - so it's not as tall as it sounds.. 87cm standover height. -

No worries mate.
I just got stop-and-searched by the police at She Bush Green for ghostriding!
I didn't mind, because obviously there are loads of thieving scrotes around W12.
Quoting from form 5090:
"Subject scene cycling on shepherds bush common holding onto another pedal cycle. male stopped and asked to account for having to pedal cycles in his possesion. subject stated he lent the cycle to a friend who illegible."
The old bill was a couple of minutes away from calling you up mate!
In the end the control room was to busy, so after 30 minutes outside Barclays waiting around he let me go - insisting that I walk.
My second stop by the police in two days.... time to shave?

Got stopped yesterday for ringing my brother's doorbell?!
The copper said that "I just rode up to the gate.. and stopped."
They were confused because I didn't get off my bike.
