That's a nice bike!

I'm sure that's the 92/93 model!

I'm sure that's the 92/93 model!

Could be. I do not have the sales info for this model .Made a guess.you have just made me feel younger.

I'm interested, but I suspect that your bike's a bit big for me. Are you measuring the 22 1/2" dimension from centre of bottom bracket to top of seat tube where the seat pin goes in?

Also, do you know:
a) the standover measurement (vertical distance from floor to top of top tube) and
gearing ratios, number of chainrings, sprockets, etc.

David .I will cofirm your questions over this weekend.Paul. Ps Frame size is centre of the b/b to top of the seat tube again i will check this.

That's gorgeous. I don't need it, but it's my size and such a bargain that I'm finding it difficult to be rational!

 

[classicnut]

Cheers. I'll look out for your post.

Nice bike, shame it has downtube shifters though....they are a pain.... one of the main reasons I got rid of my oldancient falcon roadie

 

[bagpuss]

If the down tube shifters are a problem i can fit new Suntour bar end ones. This will be an extra cost as i will have to buy them.

 

[classicnut]

Bother. Thought as much, the frame's 2 inches bigger than mine, so the bike's a non starter for me. Nice low gear ratios, too, with three chain rings – an improvement on my own Raleigh, which is a bit of a struggle up the hills. Down tube shifters no problem. Grew up with them, though I use bar ends for preference these days.

Thanks for checking, it's a lovely machine for the right-sized body.
