Hey,
I have a giant defy frame/fork,seat post,and new headset,the frame was striped to get painted but just never happened, its size medium, I got the giant decal set made up for it by a sign company, a car body shop down here priced it at €40 to paint it, it was just left there at the time as I got another frame at the time, I would be looking for €120 inc post with GLS or €100 collected, it work out at a good price for you with the new paint job, if it won't suit you no prob ill prob get it painted at some stage down the road, I have a groupset and wheels also :-)

what material is the fork, and im 5 ft 7 inch would the frame be the right size for me ? how was the frame stripped and could the frame be left bare aluminium ....... maybe sprayed clear laquer over the decals ?

Hey,

It was striped with sand paper,its a alloy frame,I'm almost sure the fork is steel,the fork has not been striped yet, if the frame was polished with fine paper and the decals fitted I'm sure it could work out sound, the decals are black so the silver frame with black decals would look good,you could paint the fork black to match it with the decals, the seat tube is 50cm and top tube is 54cm, the size should be sound,what type cycling do you want it for ?

it will be for use mainly for sportives etc. I seen a frame recently polished and it looked good, don't know how it was done though. Is that your best price or what the least you would take. I would need it Couriered/posted to me. where are you located ?

Hey,
€120 inc post is my best price, if you have a few hours to spend at it you will polish it with wet fine sand paper, I will send it with gls and that will cost me €20 so I think €120 is a fair price, the size is sound for what your going doing,if you wanted it for racing I'd say go for a smaller size to get the front low but you will be looking for a relaxed set up for longer miles in the saddle,
