The original ad on here where I bought it from:

Reluctant sale but a recent purchase means one must go and I just ride off-road these days.

£105 collected, £120 posted anyone?

Top tube is 58cm C-C

Hi

What sort of size road bike would this equate to please :?:

Cheers

Hi, I would say it is like a 56cm/58cm c-c roadbike. I am 6 foot and it fits just fine. It has a quite long headtube and the steerer is uncut so you can get quite a variety of positions.

Handling is very much roady-style with quick and sharp steering. It would benefit from some drops I reckon to tuck in on fast, swooping corners.

Hi

Thanks for the info going to have to think about it as it might just be a tad too large for my stumpy frame

That is one cool frame

Hmmm ...... haven't got a road bike but do have a load of MTB spares and some slicks ........ dammit ..... stupid time of the year

 

[SilverSurfer]

Ha ha indeed. Not in a rush to get shut this side of Christmas so if it is still here in the new year....

 

[SilverSurfer]

A few interested parties, but if they fall through you can register your interest. After Christmas is not a problem!

Re: 26 inch-wheel road frame

Lovely frame and strange the 26" wheel road bike didn't catch on!
I believe there was a article (Cycling+ ?) about Caribou bikes some 10-12 years ago that made me want one.
Interested in a trade for a larger mtb or road frame?
Pm sent.
