    I'm 5 10 so its prob a bit big for me. What size is it? Prob a bit on the pricey side as well.

    Is a 23.5" too big for you? If not I have a vintage one for €300

    Brendan, this is Michael! Good luck with the sale. Will have a look at the surly thanks. The Ridley is too large as well unfortunately. It looks near impossible to get a half decent tourer of the right size second hand! Thanks for all the advice thus far lads

    Brendan's vintage tourer is a great bike by the way. Just slightly too big for me. Would recommend it though
