Could i get away with it GIANT

[coco69]

what bike is this please and roughly how old,

do you think i could get away with the size its down as a a 50cm M on the giant chart and i am 5.11" ?

Far too small i'd have thought,I'm 5' 8" and ride a 54cm bike.

It is a Giant FCR, an FCR 2 I believe...

Giant sizing is different. You would need to check it out. I think this might fit. My wife's medium has fitted me for the odd ride. I am 6 ft.

Hmm.

According to Giant's chart you're right between "M" and "L". (Top end of M, low end of L)

In my case (buying an SCR, & at 6'2", between L & XL in a similar way) my LBS advised the smaller size, and were right about that.

Best bet would be to ride, or at least sit on the bike - any chance of doing that before shelling out money?

50 is too small IMO but it may be like my Sirrus its a smaller compact frame (50cm too IIRC) but an effective 54cm (a Spesh Medium), so you may want to investigate further. btw I'm 5'9'' and bike fit recommend a 56 for me but my bikes are 54 & 55cm.

basically on giant website it state s 46.5,med 50, m/l 53.5

Even if it wasn't too small for you, I doubt you would get far... tyres look flat as a pancake!

With a sloping top tube you might get away with it. The only way to see really is to test ride it.

My flat bar road bike is a "M" frame and I'm 5'11" and it's fine, probably a touch on the small side but I prefer it that way ;-)

Not sure about that Giant as 50cm would be too small for a "M" frame IMHO. Your best bet is call a reputable bike shop that sells that model and ask them for a sizing help.

ok thanks for comments are these a good bike and roughly what do you think its worth

 

[Cyclist33]

It depends on what year it is and if its new or second hand! You really need to start giving us more detail in these little posers!!

The FCR is a fine bike from what I know, I've drooled over enough of them in my time.

Could be the 2007 FCR 2 http://www.jejamescycles.com/archive/giantFcr207.html
