Wanted X Large Bontrager Race Lite

[sunympholepsy]

Morning,
As per title I am looking for a Bonty Race Lite frame, ideally with a matching composite fork. I still don’t quite understand Bontrager sizing, but I guess I need an XL frame for my 6ft1”.
Cheers

Hello, I am riding a size XL Racelite and at around 6ft. in height and have found it a good fit.

Do a search on the various Bontrager build threads - somebody posted the sizing chart for the frames.

I’ll attach images of mine for reference.
It’s possible mine may become available as am adapting riding position after a shoulder injury & not quite got riding position sorted yet…

Would be looking for around £400 frame only posted.

I'm 6ft dead and ride a Large or 19"

Frame and fork may be available pending split

Hey Tangent,
Thank you for that. Lovely bike! Out of curiosity, is that original paint/powder? Also, are the seat stays one piece?
Hope your shoulder is on the mend!
Best regards

Thanks Ratcapa. Very nice!
I usually don’t mind the frame being a tad on the smaller side, but I think I would end up with too much seatpost out of the frame with a 19” .

Best regards

No worries pal, hope you find the right one

Ah cheers @sunympholepsy for best wishes…completed my 1st very gentle 5km ride yesterday…this is reason I am posting as the classic down low bonty riding position is a bit tough for me - just now.

In answer to your questions:

1) Yes. 1 piece seatstay (indicator of later era production)

2) Original paint - unsure - I have assumed it was resprayed as not a obviously bontrager colour scheme - but really do not know. Anyhow I quite like it!

Amazing grey racelite @ratcapa , that’s alway’s been my fave bonty colour scheme & black raclite forks - awesome!

I always used to ride a L Bonty OR - which worked fine for me back in 1990s fit wise. Think have become accustomed to more toptube space when swapping over from recently built bikes

Thank you.
A friend of mine has a Privateer in 19”, I am going to try and arrange a test ride to confirm the fit. I will keep your kind offer in mind!

Cheers

Just to throw into the mix... I've got a Race Lite size L in original orange powder coat and decals with two piece stays that I'll be selling soon
