Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately it would be an online sale so could not check it in person. With that in mind might be best to pass.
I will try hold out for either a Gazelle Champion Mondial, Giant Cadex 980c or Koga Miyata Gents Luxe S in my size.

A few years ago you would have got a lot more but older bike prices have plummeted over the last few years.

You might be surprised by how the Giant rides but the only way of knowing is to try it

Agreed I paid a lot more for it back in 2021! Still see a lot on ebay way overpriced

1990’s Gerber bicycle en route. Swiss made. Looking forward to receiving it and getting it out for a spin. Totally original looks to be in really good condition. Anyone know anything about this brand?

Not a name I have any experience with but looks good and let's hope it rides as well

I omly know what the fake Intelligence tells us...

Gerber cycles are vintage road, cyclocross, and mountain bicycles originally produced as an in-house brand for a bicycle shop in Switzerland during the 1980s and 1990s.

Rather than manufacturing every frame themselves, Gerber sourced high-quality frames from renowned builders in Italy and Japan, or built bikes using prominent third party chassis like Alan.

Notable ModelsGerber Super Record: A classic mid-1980s steel road bike designed for traditional racing with lightweight tubing and premium period components.

So, if thats correct they bough in their frames from elsewhere like virtually everyone else does theee days. Its a smart looking bike, looking forward tk reading the report when it arrives.
