No rear wheel

No tyres. No Tubes.

The bike is in good working condition, and with decent wheels is actually quite a fun bike. It makes a good commuter or introductory trainer.

There are a good few of the usual chips, grazes, and grease marks on the paint work. I have tried to take photos of the worst of these, including grazes to both shifters from being leaned against walls. However, you're best off seeing these in person.

I am in South Dublin. In Dartry near to Milltown/Cowper Luas stations.

What height would it suit??

jimmyjacob

I'm 5 ft. 11" and it was definitely too small for me in terms of reach. I would have needed a longer quill stem but didn't bother. Obviously, I could raise the saddle height to my preferred height but that left significant saddle to bar drop, which I prefer but some might not be comfortable with. Quill stems have a minimum insertion point and tend to be fairly limited in terms of raising the bars.

I am hesitant to recommend an optimal height for the frame as it involves significant generalisations. At a guess, I'd say it would suit someone 5'8". But that is a guess!

Hope that helps.
