Hi
Bought a 1996 Giant Peleton beginning of the week. In good nick just needs new cables and front bearings greasing. However, when I bought it it was sold as correct size for someone 5ft11 (e.g.me), but when I got it home I found it is a 600mm frame. This is obviously too big for me. I have persevered with it and toyed with putting a shorted stem on it ( current one is 130mm), but I think I may be onto a lost cause as it is causing back and neck ache due to the riding position being wrong. I bought the bike for £85. Would I better to try to resell the bike and make the money back to get something the right size or should I persevere? Also, from the little research I have done,I may be able to sell it for more than £85.
