That would depend on what length seat post you use. (E.g. 18" + 400mm seatpost).

That is a very tidy looking frame

As currently set, centre BB to top of saddle is 30 inches, which for me at 6ft3 was perfect, centre BB to top of seatpost is actually 18.5", but as has been mentioned, fit a longer seatpost if needed.

Very tempted (I'm the same height). Is that original paint or a respray ? Are there any dents, scuffs or dings ?

Re: 1993 Orange Prestige 18" Xmas Sale Now On!

I bought it from another guy on here (minifreak), i believe the paint is original so there is a few scuffs and marks close up and there is a small ding halfway along the top tube (covered by the top mounted cables).
Being a satin black finish, it still looks really good and it rides amazingly well, quick and super light,
If you are interested, I'm more than happy to negotiate the price

Re:

This is a nice and tidy bike. Minifreak refurbed this for an old friend of his I think. It then had purple bits on it, but I think it looks pretty sharp now with the matching orange bits.

Builds into a real beauty, refurbed her just as my friend had her back in our youth. Alas he has a dodgy knee so cannot ride and I have too many bikes. Whoever buys her will not be disappointed, too Orange frame from the early 90’s

A 750mm seat height, for a 6'3" chap? :shock:

Are you, er how do I put this, out of proportion? That's a full 65mm shorter than mine, another 6'3" chap
