Hi all,
looking to buy a comfortable, lively and light steel (Tange/True Temper/Columbus/triple butted/Reynolds?) complete bike or just frame and fork.
Size is 1.79m so 22 inch/56cm frame?
Stand over between 32 and 32.5 inch
So a good price/value and underrated bike to keep and ride it.
Recap
Light Touring/Commuting:
1/ comfortable, stable and upright geometry
2/ light but not too light to absorb the bumps and bad roads
3/ can fit a triple chainset/crankset and low gears for hills
4/ can fit wide tyres 32c minimum
5/ cantilevers mounts to fit modern rim brakes
If you know someone who has too many bikes that wants to sell or if you have a bike recommendation, that would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Thierry
