Bucking the trend of expensive touring rigs, this will set you back less than £17 thanks to ebays strange pricing algorhythms.

Why did you think it was 56cm? It's a 60cm

 

[LondonClassic]

It was a guess.

 

[winjohn]

It's 60st x 58tt.
Bit rusty on the surface but not bad otherwise.
Unfortunately I can't read the serial number so I just guessing it's around 89. Trying to date it so I can get some idea of what to build it with.

 

[LondonClassic]

Usual arrangement for the finders fee @winjohn?

 

[winjohn]

Of course! When should I send the brown envelope over?

I'll buy you a beer next time I see you.

Seriously thanks for spotting this one, unusually it was less than 30 minutes up the road so I thought it would be rude not to take it off his hands?

I nearly didn't bother when I read your title, hence my previous cryptic question but the length of the steerer tube suggested at least 58cm to me and I am well chuffed with 60 cm with a 58 top tube...perfect!

It has clearly been rebuilt at some stage and everything has unscrewed without complaint. I'll even forgive the person who decided to put a Hollowtech 1 BB in it...I discovered the self extracting mechanism for the first time and it worked like a dream. Anyone want a 170mm Tiagra triple crankset and BB? yours for £16.32.

Glad its gone to a 'family' member. Must be tough being on almost the same manor as @Guinessisgoodforyou - lots of potential for turf wars on nags that come up for sale.

Nah, I just buy them, look at them for a bit, do a bit of tinkering then pass them on to someone who knows what they are doing.
