    I think it is a 20" frame. I am 6ft and it suits me perfectly. Stem is adjustable so there would be a bit of a range. 700x35c tyres for a comfortable ride. 21 speeds Shimano Tourney/C101 with mega range cassette on the back (this means it goes up hills easily.)

    Issues: The left gear shifter is cracked from a crash. It is entirely cosmetic and does not affect operation at all (last pic.) I cleaned and relubed the bike this afternoon and it is going nicely; there is surface rust on the chain but again this does not affect operation and indeed you wouldn't see it had I not cleaned the bike :) The cassette and chain are quite new, probably only a couple of hundred km on them, but it got wet and wasn't relubed immediately causing the issue. I have the same situation on my cross bike and it is not a problem.

    Extras include a rack, mudguards and kickstand. The pedals are also an upgrade: good quality metal cages with toe clips. Specialized Body Geometry saddle is also an upgrade.

    Overall condition is good; the bike goes nicely and gear shifting is good. RRP on this was €375, €409 with rack and mudguards. Perfect town bike or commuter.

    Looking for €200 ono.
