21 inch would fit me a treat, I'm 5'6" with a 29' leg, its a lovely bike, I'm tempted but don't have the funds.

Not a lot of response from the forum, a few more days and it is going on to fleebay.

just don't know what constitutes a sensible offer , could you give us a clue ,whats the OLN on the rear and front stays .

 

[Paulus]

I would be looking for around the £300 mark, I did pay a lot more than that for it. As I said, I am open to reasonable offers.
What is The OLN?

oln is the distance between the dropouts

did you buy it new ?

 

[Paulus]

I didn't buy it new, I bought it from a collector 3 years back. I shall measure the OLN.
The rear is 115mm
The front is 95mm.

Can not understand why no one has bought this apart from the collect from london,. Now if you offered to post i know for a fact you would have offers (me for a start) , good luck with the sale and hope it goes to a good home.

A nice bike for the money but Postage would guarantee a lot of interest in it. It would be the same if you posted elsewhere.
