Gt Edge Alu

Seller says it’s 60cm, has now removed the photo that had the seat tube measurement in which was shown from centre bb to top of the seat tube. I’d have bought it if it were a 60cm, it’s a 56cm looking at the top tube measurement compared to the dealer catalogue measurement table.

Still a nice bike, headset, forks and BB. Just realised when I first viewed this it was up for less than £150 and now has the price increased.

You can see my logic about the size - 565mm top tube = 56cm frame size.

In his photo with the text, he states 60cm x 58cm but in the photo of him measuring the TT he is clearly measuring from rear of ST to the front of the HT, hence his (incorrect)58cm. Even allowing for the angle of the photo, it is pretty easy to see it would be 56.5 C-C, making this a 56 ST as you say, @Gtpulse

It's curious, though, that he states it is a bit too big for him at 6', the space between DT and TT at the headtube looks as expected for a 56-ish frame and would expect this to be the minimum size for a 6-footer.

Bit pricey maybe, looks like the usual bits of Al corrosion, plus the knacked hanger. Yes, it might be a rare frame but that doesn't mean it's collectable. With your username, I presume you know about them @Gtpulse

Yes my favourite road bike! I’ve had a few of them that I’ve since sold on including a Ti one. Never had a 60cm though and suspect it would be a perfect fit. I looked at the price and thought it’s not the cheapest but it is offset a bit by the value of the headset/forks/bottom bracket. Getting a set of 1inch steerer forks is getting more expensive. Having seen the sellers other items and a photo of the bike as a whole I did wonder why they hadn’t gone as far as splitting the headset.
