50cm is quite small, I thought you were looking for 52/54cm bikes??

If it fits you and you get it for around €250 then it would be a good bike to buy. Ridley are well renowned bike manufacturer. My first bike was a Ridley, always regret selling it.

This is what I put it up for, I think if I can knock a bit off it will be a good start. Yes I can't find a proper size chart for it, I messaged him he said up to 5'10" okay. Might take a look.

Size charts I found say tempo X should be xtra small for up to 170. But this says 50cm frame.

It's advertised as 50 inches not CM :eek:
Ridley have been using XS/S/M/L/XL and not CM for over a decade now.

Surely he means 50cm? What correlates as XS out of interest ?

Is this what I've been waiting for! Small size as well. Price high?

Bit expensive alright. €350 would be closer to its value IMO.

Thought that, they will probably lean on the new stuff on it.

There's always a bit of room on Adverts pricing. I got an almost unused Cube with 10-speed Tiagra at Christmas for 450€ so you can get value if you shop around

He shook for 375 on the Giant, which is ok if they are new tyres and it's been serviced. Looks to be in good nick.

I bought the giant... Lovely bike, clean with everything it said on the ad. Many thanks to you all for your help previously. I guess this case is closed

You were the one who put the €375 offer on the giant defy 3?
Very nice bike and I can tell it was looked after from the pics, enjoy!

Yep. Happy enough with it, will hopefully get out in the morning for a spin. Thanks for your help especially, made a huge difference all the knowledge I gained here.

There's always the "tell us about your cycle today" thread to continue the saga :pac:
