Dale, my flatmate does indeed seem keen on getting himself a whip. This would fit him, but I think he wants a british racing green one & It'd be a waste to repaint this (also not really bothered about being track). Have you got any similar sized frames in either green or old&crappy paint jobs kicking aboot?

I'll PM you at some point when I know how much he can spend.

can come over and check it out no problems, i'm at Imperial. will pull the wheels of my bike and put it in this. might be ok, due to the shortish seat tube.

send me a pm.

it's not that he 'has' them, he's dealing in them to make money! but he pretends he bought them by 'accident'

standover with 700x23 is roughly 31" . clearance on front fork is a little finger, so could use 27" for super close. rear end seems tightish as well, compared to raleigh road frame same size. 99% sure it's a raleigh now!

Well if the standover height is 31inches, then yep, probably too big. I'm guessing you mean 30 inches, unless you're incredibly short ;)

Did he take it then? My flatmate's inseam measurement is 32" so it might be a little too big for him too!
