Not mine but a friend just upgraded and is selling his old bike.

2015 kuota Kalibur, small frame ,he's 5'9, 105 groupset, rotor noQ cranks, Shimano RS wheels, Pirelli PZero tyres, deda handlebars and aerobars with Shimano mechanical end shifters. €900.

It's in good knick, bike goes to the bike shop for any work needed so it's well maintained.

Frame is same as above.

Sorry should of said I am 6ft tall so would require a medium/large frame. Thanks for the reply.

Just on the sizing of a TT bike.. smaller rather than bigger is always better. Depends on you're level I guess but you're much more likely to get a better fit on a smaller rather than bigger frame.

If curious have a look at some of the professional riders heights and deep a bit deeper and you'll find the size TT bikes they ride. Majority are on really small frames.

Best of luck with your search.

Just dont go too small or you wont be able to do any Cycling Ireland TTs as you'll not get within the measurements!

In theory yes. But bar the Nationals they take very little notice of the specific measurements.

I've seen guys on P5-6s and not a word said.

Cannondale Slice on adverts. You'll have to search for it.

it's a 54, he's 6ft, i'm 6'1 and have a 56 slice, a 54 would be far too small for him

I think 'far too small' is an exaggeration. I'm 5'10 and I find it too big for me. I'd have preferred a 52.
Depends on reach and personal feel.

No it wouldn't. I'm just under 6"2 and my 54" works just fine.
