Re:

Hi, olivejunkie, thank you for your reply. I am looking for british made reynolds 531 vintage bike, with relatively large frame as I am 6’1. I would like to probably eventually convert it into a fixie, but not sure yet. I have been looking at Dawes galaxy as they seem to me to have a relatively upright position even in large frames relative to my height.
Also, I am looking for reynolds steel MTB, again with relatively large frame. Been looking for Dawes wildcat at themoment.
Any advice would be much appreciated as I am relatively new to the retro bikes.
Many thanks, Owen
