im 5'10" i have a road bike which has a 57 tt i find its a little too big, how about mountain? (i suck at sizes for mtb, im only slightly better when it comes to road bikes. . .)

For the sizing of the time you're about right. If you were buying a modern bike then it's a touch large, but for 1988 this bike is like a tailored suit. Made of metal. And painted red and white.

If you're local you're welcome to try it for size.

Cheers,
T

You betcha!

If you're in/near Bristol (from your other posts) we're heading down that way in a couple of weeks to see friends. Could pop it in the car to save on postage.

That would be lovely but im in hereford in the west midlands
any idea on P&P costs?

I'll weigh it (assuming I can find scales that can cope with that kind of trauma) and get a quote. Do you have a private email? I'll send you more pics of the surface rust as it's not coming up very well in the photo above and I want to show this honestly.
