Any reason why not one person has replied to this? Have I done something wrong by posting the ad on here?
I did go through a lot of ads and looked at the prices being asked for mid 90s BVs so I think I got it right, but obviously if it's way out, please let me know, as you have done with other posters.

Hi

I think it is more likely the size than the price that is keeping people away from this one. Bikes for the "larger gent" aren't that popular or - speaking as one myself - that easy to find when looking for something specific!

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks for the reply. Glad to know I haven't done something wrong!

With some drop bars it could be set up to be a sweet touring bike, as I am in the process of transforming my Team Marin of similar vintage and size.

Well, I must admit I did have to put the seat post up at maximum and add riser bars to make it work for me. Couldn't find a bigger one at the time.
That's good to know though, seems to fit a lot of people depending on how you set it up
