The Raleigh Montage frame I have has a 58cm seat tube (centre to top of seat tube) with an 18.5cm head tube (not including the headset).
Is that big enough?

If you are happy to come down a bit on frame quality I have big Raleigh Montage in Reynolds 501 if i remember correctly.
I will dig it out and measure the frame.

In the current market and with the damage to the bars (and possibly other parts of the bike if it took a blow strong enough to bend the bars) I think your asking price is very, very optimistic.
Close, but i think you will find theses are the once lusted after "scree" bikes that got left behind by ATB bikes. ...........that git left behind by MTBs........ad infinitum lol
That one is a stolen bike trying to find it's true owner via FB marketplace. Its not for sale.
Not a guess as i have been in contact with the "guardian" advertising it.
I prefer buying on Marketplace compared to selling. It is usually relatively easy to spot something that is too good to be true (stolen/non-existent?) or a pile of poop being passed off as a gem.......in fact the latter can be an endless source of amusement to me (bent forks, forks on backwards...
It just look odd!!
The forks look too skinny.
The head tube looks too long.
It looks like a big front triangle has been cut and shut on to a smaller rear triangle? I know ot hasn't BTW 😁
Plus it has a Specialized water bottle in the cage 😆
Agreed, I don't get the snobbery around such bikes and "suicide" levers? For the right bike they do a fine job. And in fear of being called a heretic I have a steel claude butler I intend to put suicide levers on!!
But is the Trek used as a basis any good in the first place? There were a lot of cheap trashy y-frame copycat full sussers BITD
Is this alloy framed Trek a good one? Or is it relatively low end and ok to "re-purpose" as iy was poop anyway??
