Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he were sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to.

It doesn't bother me - just felt like I was reading some sort of interior monologue.

Sorry, does the price include postage?
Forget it, just realised it doesn't (which is fine).

Why did you leave these lines in? When you realised postage wasn't included, why did you not just delete your question? Please tell me why you went about it this way, because I don't understand.

Too big for me, but that looks nice, and very reasonably priced too. GLWS, as they say...

As I wrote, you can negotiate :) I'm open to offers.

Yes, but the idea is to come up a realistic price from which to negotiate from.

I am not the seller - I was just bumping the thread because I like the bike.

Bump. Come on, somebody, it's lovely.

I really like the look of that frame - the rims, too - but it's not my size.

'The drivetrain is practically brand new'? Am I missing something here?

^ especially for something that hasn't even been cleaned...

Does it come with the mud, or would I need to pay extra if I wanted that included?

No-one's going to show much interest unless you've got pictures and present measurements - that's two reasons why you've not had any replies.

And that you 'rode it 10 miles to work' this morning and that you will 'ride it home again in a bit' is really neither here nor there.

They're nice bikes, are Record Aces, but it will have to be in fairly good nick for what you're asking.

I said that I thought 'that front wheel is more than 'slightly' out of true.' That's all I have to say on that matter.

I reckon 56 is fine for you. That's not all I have to say on the matter, but it is all I shall say on the matter.

Tenners - I know what chevrons are; I just didn't get the reference.

The End.

Chevrons? Chevrons? Chevrons?

is this going to become the new bike fit thread?

Yes please!!

The bike has now been sold.

^?!?!?

Some sub-6 footer on here somewhere was speculating that 56 would be too small for him. You say that you're 5'9" or 5'10" - ergo, I don't see that 56 is significantly large for someone of 5'9" or 5'10" in height?
Sorry - I'm a bit obsessed with bike size/height ratios, so always feel the need to stick my beak in when the subject comes up.

NB. If you like the bike, then why not take the money and be done with it? True, that front wheel is more than 'slightly' out of true, but principles-shminciples; don't cut off your nose to spite your face - it won't be your reputation that's taken a hit.

^ Maybe the guy's on a budget.

Dan4 - I wouldn't describe this bike as being 'put together' - by someone who knows what they're doing or otherwise. Some of the parts have been replaced, that's all.

The description reads like a sad poem!

That's one of the funniest things I've read and come across on LFGSS - I thank you.

At 5'11", a 56/55 cm sized bike is technically within your limits; I'm the same height and ride a bike of the same proportion as this. That said, I wouldn't want to go any smaller, and I have my seat up pretty high.

How is it? You're tall, right? Lovely looking bike...

^ I assume the 58cm refers to the seat-tube? What's the length of the top-tube, c-c?

How much for the VW?

Fair enough.

Are you saying that no sooner had you bought the thing, you almost instantly regretted doing so?!
I don't understand...
