    Hey,

    I have just been over to see the bike and get details off it,it's a size medium 54 top tube so I'd say it's too small,you would want a 56 or so top tube,you need to be sure you get the right size bike or it won't be much good to you,

    Cheers zip,

    Just realised I gave the wrong size earlier. The bike is 51cm or 20in in old money.

    Maybe. Was checking out bike charts on google and looks like you need a bigger frame alright.
