Is this inspecton going ahead?

Edit: If the bike doesn't suit, I'd like to weigh in with an offer.

megelena46

Am free from 3.30pm to 5pm today or tom from 1pm?

Joey Joe-Joe Jr

Can you let me know if the bike is still available megelena?

I live near you and could take a look on Tuesday but obviously don't want to upset anybody.

megelena46

Hi,

Yes bike is still available. Am free Thurs after 1pm and Friday afternoon/evening if suits. Bike has not been ridden since originally posting on site so no extra miles on it at all.

Joeyde

I would take a look at it as well after Joey if its still going.

also interested in the wheel set. specifically the rear...

megelena46

Yes the bike is still available. As said not used at all. Its in the shed, cleaned and lubed.

Am free thurs/fri and sat afternoon if free. PM me for number.

Joeyde

Im guessing 53 is the seat tube? Could you tell me the top tube length of the frame? is it also 53?


Would you sell the rear wheel with the cassette by itself?

Need a trainer wheel, not interested in the front wheel or the tyres.

Are you sure that the 53cm frame will fit someone 5'11?
Any bike I have purchased have had to be 55cm frames and I am 5'11.

Don't intend to drag the thread off topic but be sure that its the right fit.

Lovely bike btw, I would nab it off you if it was the right size.

Good luck with sale.

Are the tires /brakes in good condition? Desperately need an upgrade. Would love this bike and it's the right size for me. €250, I can collect tomorrow.

Well I see the last offer you had was €200 so I'll up that to €250 based on a short inspection.

Remember not all bikes are the same so 53 on a trek is diff to 53 on a Felt etc... my new bike is a 54cm and feels more comp than the claud's 53cm.
Not sure on top tube - google it.
Its not just the measurement from BB to top seat post that counts but also the angle forward/aft based on top tube length.
I'd say ride it and then take it from there. Stem length and seat length are also things to consider.

If you like a compact ride then smaller is better but if not then 55/56 may be for you.

OK no problem, looking for the GF so sounds a little big Id say. I did try to google it but came up with nothing.

And the spare wheel set?

Joey Joe-Joe Jr
