Hello.

What's the history with this bike? I used to have a similar one, from memory mine was a 51cm or 52cm I think.

Cheers

I was meaning to ask how long you have owned the frame, where it was purchased from etc.

Sorry if unclear.

Am interested but also curious if it's the same frame I sold a few years ago:
