    I have a Claude Butler Dalesman that would probably suit you. Its 55cm, which is just a bit small for me at 5 11.

    I can post up some links, but here is a link for spec and picture as new.
    http://www.cyclinguk.org/sites/default/files/file_public/201309062.pdf

    The bike is exactly as it appears in the picture on the third page (the green bike, not the blue one!). It is in good condition, some chips on the paint, but they are cosmetic. It has recently got a thorough service, chain, cassette, BB, bar tape all replaced. Tyres are good too, the bike should do another 2-3k before you need to spend anything on it.

    Let me know if you are interested. I'd be looking for about €400 and I'm based in Cork city.

    Not 100% sure. I bought it second hand less than 3 years ago. Probably between 3 and 5 years, judging from looking online and finding pics of that model. But as I mentioned, most of the main components have been replaced recently. The frame does have some paint flaking, but that was what it was when I got it.

    If you are genuinely interested, I'll take a few pics this evening of it.

    Please post some photos as I may be interested if it suits me and the price is right.

    Apologies, I never got round to this over the weekend. Here are the pictures now.

    This was just after coming home today, so I left the pannier bag on it. I carry a 17" laptop and clothes into work and never had an issue with the rack or bags.

    Pedals and pannier bags not included but I have a brand new tyre and a few spare tubes that I will include with the bike.
