Giant SCR A1

[martint235]

I have a Giant SCR A1 taking up shed space. It's fitted mainly with 105 stuff. There won't be a cassette on it as that's relatively new. Rims are pretty worn too but both hubs are 105 I think. It's been used for years as a commuter so looks "loved". It's an XL which is roughly the same set up as my 58 cm Planet X

Basically I'm trying to avoid throwing it in a skip.

Also a couple of Apollo mountain bikes that are just rusting away if anyone wants those.

Blimey it feels like I am going to miss an old friend.
Many thousands of miles I have cycled with that bike either in view or creaking away behind me

@martint235 quite happy to take it off you , and use it as my single speed commuter but just worried might be too big normally ride with saddle at 39" and bars at 36" how does that measure up ?

oh and it would have to be posted

Hey it doesn't creak that much!!! It has done many thousands of miles. Here's a pic half way through a 240 miler :

Can't seem to attach pic. Oh well

@biggs682 the saddle might just get down to 39 but you'd struggle to get the bars to 36", you'd be running with no spacers. (These are taken from Lelly which as I said it virtually identical). Also I think the effort and cost of posting is worth more than the frame so it is a more likely a pick up job.

must admit i did wonder if it was too big shame really

If no one wants it would you take the shifters mech off? I would like to upgrade my virtuoso to better than 2300 but a 58 frame is about 2 sizes to big for me.

The Giant has a new home where hopefully it'll have many more miles left.

Could a Mod please change the title and lock the thread, thanks.
