Presumably you've looked at Spa etc if new an option, ebay if not

Yes and yes. I don't know an awful lot about Omega, I do like the super short head tube though! The plan is to build up a bike that can do Sunday morning centuries and Tuesday evening crit smashes... to be built up with sram red.

This is a bargain

I know, I sent him an offer! but at 5'7 (and a half...) it's too much of a risk at the price he's asking on a 54. General concensus seems to suggest they size large.

I'm 5'9" and ride a 54 Ventus. If anything I think they size up small. I use a 100mm stem, so you could go with a smaller one.

Oh that's interesting. I don't suppose you have any pics to wet my appetite?

These may help. As you can see it does have a sloping top tube. A fair amount of seat post and a few fork spacers.








The geometry is also spot on.

Blooming lovely that. My point of reference for my "perfect" bike is the genesis equilibrium 2015. I can raise or lower the bars for racing and touring and actually, looking at the geometry charts I think the genesis sizes up slightly larger! Hmm...

Lovely isn't it! Would like a bit of variety though. My Genevieve is going nowhere.

I agree with Ian on this, I'm 6'5" & normally ride a 60cm frame, my 60cm Ventus is a touch on the small side & could do with being slightly larger for me, but it's still my favourite bike

Well there you go @mythste

£1090 frameset alone for the Spa Elan if you are wanting discs perhaps

Want to stick to rim brakes, but thanks!

Going to hold out for the right ventus frame - or a chinook if I get lucky! I want to build it up sub 7kg as a project and it's all rather exciting! Wheels next.
