Just re-read it... She'll post it! Anyone know how much that might be? And is 49cm too small if I ride a 52cm?
Jo - it's probably the top tube (51cm) you want to worry about rather than the seat post. As a comparison, the top tube is 1cm shorter than my track bike and the seat tube is the same size.Just re-read it... She'll post it! Anyone know how much that might be? And is 49cm too small if I ride a 52cm?

I'm considering it Lizanne depending on what it goes for... Update in a couple of hours?
I definitely won't bid not least because I'll be in a meeting for a few hours around the time it finishes. However if someone does bid and wins, happy to chip on or work out something. I am interested in it as a fixie rather than a track bike (it doesn't appear to be drilled, slight problem to resolve).
It's going to be a pain to get it from Mt Gambier. I might have work colleagues who could pick it up but I'll have to find them first.

I'm considering it as a track bike Eleri. I completely misread the description, it is a 51cm so it's a good size for me I think. Trying to work out courier costs now so will update when I've found it out. The price is holding steady on eBay...

We're looking at about $250 to courier unless anyone knows a cheaper/easier way to do it? Mt. Gambier is about 4 hours from Adelaide.

Yeah I noticed that, but 20 in iches converts to 50.8cms according to the online calculator which given that the seat tube has a slight bit of elevation above the top tube, the top tube could possibly be 48-50cms.ya it looks small
but 5'6- 5'11 is not a short person
I might be wrong, but the more I learn about ebay bike buying; the less the seller understands about bike the greater the value $$ that can be found with some guestamation.
