Wanted Size 49-51cm Frameset or Full Bike if poss

[wilkoman]

Hey all, I'm on the hunt for a bike for the missus but really struggling to find much in her size range. She's 5'3 if it helps.
Full bike budget would be around £800

Also what do you guys think of this?

I have a 1983 Gios Aerodynamic with a 50cm frame with Campagnolo Record components - I'm the same height as your Mrs -

The tyres are now green Vittoria. Looking for about £500 - the respray cost £300.
I'm in Hampshire

Re:

What sort of thing are you after? What will it be used for? Any idea what top tube length you’d need?

That Mercian is nice, but 27 x 1 ¼ is both a bit annoying for finding good quality replacement tyres and will increase the chances of toe overlap on a small frame.

Hey thanks for checking those two listings for me! It will mainly be used as a commuter and the odd weekend rides. My gf has an old road bike that is beyond repair and she just needs a replacement. I'm not sure on the top tube length to be honest.

Re:

I've got a Wes Mason frame and forks. Reynolds 531, cromevelato finish, campag dropouts, tatty in places with a couple of small dents in top tube (from handlebars I think).

Let me know if of interest.
