Hey there, a friend of mine is roughly 5’6 / 7 and she found it very comfortable. It’s a 53cm seat tube with a 56cm top tube. Might be slightly on the big side for you, considering the reach - although it does have swept back bars…

Hey all, yes currently still for sale!

Very nice, great price

Hey all,

Posting this on behalf of a non-forum friend who’s selling as it’s slightly too small at 51cm. This originally belonged to her mum, bought new at full price - specs here (I could only find a French site…): http://www.velo-femme.com/velo-femme-specialized-ruby-sport-2015.html

It is all fully stock with 11speed shimano 105 groupset, original wheels, etc. I’m told it’s perfectly functional, apart from a slightly rubbing pad on the front brake (should be an easy fix).

There are a few bumps and scrapes from being regularly used and locked up etc. Nothing serious/structural though, there’s photos that show the worst of it.

Pretty expensive bike when new (I was told she paid around £1799), obviously not looking to get anywhere near that.

Bike is located in South East London.

Thanks!

No responses to the DMs so far... Still available and open to offers!

Actual Measurements:

Seat Tube: 53cm (ctt)
Top Tube: 56cm (ctc)

Fair point, I will double check the exact dimensions and update the thread asap 👍

Honestly I haven’t measured, and am currently away from the bike. It was sold to me as a 54 but I will double check if anyone is genuinely interested.

Replied 👍

Hi all, literally just built this beauty up to accept that it’s sadly a tad too small for me 🥲

I bought this in mint condition from a chap selling it on behalf of his 90 year old friend. He got it for his 60th birthday and hardly rode it (and only ever in the dry)!

It’s from the early 90’s, near the end of Dawes production when (as far as I’m aware) they still actually handmade steel frames in the UK using traditional methods.

The paintwork is pristine and has a lovely richness to it. Photos don’t really do it justice. The gears are the original 3x8 Shimano setup in remarkably good condition - triples are cool again right? Rock solid Mavic touring wheelset wearing brand new Panaracer Gravelking SS Plus (38c).

I set about making some tasteful upgrades while keeping the original feel of the bike. The main change was going from the old (super low) drops to a relaxed upright position, for which I added the following parts:

Nitto B354 ‘Heron’ Bars
Nitto NTC-225 Technomic Stem (100mm)
Paul Love Levers
Velo Orange Thumbie Mounts
Ergon GC1 Biocork Grips
Spa Cycles ‘Esk’ Leather Saddle

Pedals aren’t included, but can source some flats if needed. Also, I’ve swapped the seatpost that’s in the images to one with less layback.

It also comes with the original pump that slots underneath the top tube.

Seat Tube: 53cm (ctt)
Top Tube: 56cm (ctc)

Bike is currently in Oxfordshire, but can be brought to London if anyone is interested.

Any questions, give me shout 👍

Now swapped the integrated cockpit for new Tokyobike commuter bars and a lovely Nitto deluxe stem - much more comfortable and better looking.

Also, price drop - £320 (without saddle)

Bike is now in Hoxton available for collection/viewing 👍
