Lovely build...used to ride a DeKerf Implant in this Guiness colour. Really colour.

2 questions...

1. what is the top tube length on this?
2. it’s an awesome build...any chance of frame only deal? (almost embarrassed to ask!)

Re:

How tall are you and what height range would this suit?

Re: Dekerf Team 853 SST - full bike £950

I’m 5ft 7” I would guess about 5’9”-10”. A lot depends on how you want to ride it, it’s set up fairly modern right now, but it would be fine as an earlier 90s tribute. I will check remaining seat post length if it ever stoops p*sing down. I also have a longer Hope stem I could swap onto it.

There is bags of width in the bar, I was alway meaning to cut it down but never did.

It rides like a dream though. Eats up single track. Monsters uphills.
