Hi,
Having probs with the pics details are its a falcon proline 14 gears, quick release front wheel old style gear changers on the frame everything working properly cage pedals schwalbe kevlar city marthon tyre on the front and schwalbe delta cruiser on the back max Pyrenees saddle by stelle very comfy no need for padded shorts on a short commute. only prob is that the seat post is stuck so if you are not in the 5 8 to 6 foot range it might be big/small. Can take a couple of pics on my phone and send it to u if u are still interested if u want to pm me your no. Will try and gets pics up here. Not sure how to measure the frame.

What size are you mike12? and does the bike fit you OK?

mike12

Sory for the delay. just new to boards, usually got notification from the first few messages on here so i thought you had not replied by then.

Bike looks great, pity about the seat alright but im sure someone could sort it out.

Anyways, To measure the frame, check out the link below. Good video on it will show you

pmcd22

since I was looking for a bike in the 100mark. You said around the 150mark. Try meet more than half way. How does 130euros sound? I can wait a couple of weeks till your coming down to Mayo.

mike12

i have a fellow to bring u from Limerick so wont really be hitting Claremorris now till around 7. He just told me there he wont be finish college till 3pm.

If you cant wait around at that time, i could head a bit out of my way and meet you down in Athlone. I guess you pass that way to Mayo
