Collection preferred from Hardwicke Gloucestershire but I will post to standard UK Post Codes for an additonal £35.00

There will be a reasonable amount of re-assembly if you go for the courier.

Although the photos have turned out fine, they don't really do it justice.

Asking £795 or near offer for this.

Re:

The bike is sparkling black metallic.

They are v brakes. I know some prefer cantis but I went with Shimano Deore 590 v brakes as I feel they are better for loads if you're touring.

I put a brand new seat post in to take the photos so it may not help as it is not set for me at the moment.

Re: Size

As seen in the photos. It is set for 5 feet 9/10 inches.

Basically the fit would be 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 10 inches depending on your style of riding or how you like your setup.

Re: 52 cm Paul Hewitt Reynolds 631 Touring/Commuter Bike As New.

I've changed out the rear cassette for a more usable 11t - 28t new Shimano one.

Re: 55 cm Paul Hewitt Reynolds 631 Touring/Commuter Bike As New.

The geometry table for the 26" wheel version is no longer available.

I've changed the thread title to read a 55cm as apparently this is how Hewitt advertised it. It is a medium.
