Carrera virtuoso for sale - Cheap bike

lennymc · 07-05-2015 7:29pm #1

I am no longer getting the bus, so no longer need the carrera virtuoso that I bought in January. Few scratches, but running fine. 8 spd claris/sora mixture. It's a medium I think - 535 - 540 mm top tube iirc. I am 5'9 or so., and it fits me fine. Steerer isnt cut either.

200 ono.

What kind of pedals are on it?

Is it possible to put a rack for panniers on it do you reckon?

Where are you based?

I have one on it atm. There are no upper mounting points on the frame, so I have made up a bracket to mount it to the brake caliper. Based up in Drogheda

I'm looking around for a cheap starter bike but am around 5'10 / 5'11 in height,
Would this bike be a bit on the small side for me?

Hey Sonyboy - I honestly couldn't say. What size bike do you normally ride? AFAIK the sizing is the same as the current virtuoso, so I guess if you went to halfords and tried one out for size? (Alternatively if you are near Drogheda, you are welcome to have a look and see the size of it)

Hi Lenny, haven't been on a bike for years and that's why

Deciding on paying out bigger money on a bike. I'll try to
Get to a Halfords to check out the size.

no problem. There are some bike fit calculators online that should give you some idea of what the suggested size is for you (although everyone is individual etc

)
