Trek 470 - 59cm - winter road bike / commuter - £120 - SOLD

I bought this on eBay over Christmas, and it’s unfortunately too small for me, and also slightly too nice for the London beater duties I had in mind. It’s a great spec, with potential to do some quite cool things. I’m just looking to recover my £120.

If it were my size I would have got a Sora chainset, slammed the stem, and called it “candy apple red”.

From the original seller:

“Classic Trek 470 Road Bike, 59cm Cro-Moly Frame, Deep Red - Upgraded Components.
I'm selling this bike because I've bought another. I've looked after her and she has looked after me. I'm sad to see her go, but I can't afford to keep her. Will suit a rider of 6ft and over - I'm 6'3".
I've upgraded her over the last couple of years and replaced everything except the seat post and the headstock bearings, so everything is in good working order. She is now a 2x9 speed instead of 2x7 which she was when I got her. The wheels have plenty of wear left in the rims and both have 700/23 Gatorskin tyres, the front tyre being new.
Obviously there is some 'wear & tear' on a bike of this age (25+ years old) and the paint has rubbed off in certain places (see pics), but overall this bike is in fantastic condition.

And some inspiration from the "modern groupset, old frame" page.

What's the top tube length?

Apologies, I haven’t had a chance to check. Digging out the geo chart shows the following (56.6 or 57.5cm) but I don’t know whether this is a 58 or a 60 (I suspect 58) - I’ll try and measure it later today or tomorrow, and confirm.

@JIMMEH - didn’t reply directly, sorry.
