Thanks, there is somewhere I can do that nearby. I've found a 1994 17" Alpina 5.3 nearby that looks in good condition.Frame size is the vital starting point, but if you're developing back problems, it would be well worth your while getting some advice on a good bike setup for your height, fitness and use.
A lot of "bike fit" salespeople are full of you-know-what but if you have a long- standing shop in the vicinity who deal with touring and commuting, i'd suggest you drop in for a chat,
even offer to pay for an advice session if you're not buying anything off them.
It will be money well spent, believe me.
Consider the cost of your commute on public transport.
Add to that gym membership, or a weekly physio session!
Wanted 18"/medium frame/bike for someone 5'8" and advice

I've got this Kona fire mountain doing nothing at the moment. It's currently frame only but I have enough parts to build it up in various ways ranging from LX 3x9 to xt 3x9 and more (sram x9/x0 etc).
It's in pretty decent shape, it does have some scuffs and scrapes to the lacquer but no dents, rings etc, pretty presentable.

That looks cool! I've currently got both a new bike and frame on the way! I do have a pal who may be interested, how much would it be for a base level build etc.?
