Have been hunting for a nice bike that’s that right size for me (I’m 6’4”) for some medium length rides over summer, and found This rather smart number. I’m kinda new to the vintage/retro bike scene and would love to know if this would be a good choice/price! (Also sorry if this is the wrong place to ask)

Well, it's a nice bike. Strong money though. There is a similar one for half that, albeit needing work, on Ebay. It's been on Ebay a while, so perhaps contacting the seller for a look see might garner some flexibility.

Agree with @highlandsflyer .They're taking offers. At that BIN price I think this isn't going anywhere soon, so plenty of time to take a look if you're localish and maybe make an in person offer. Tubs are a bit niche right now, lots of people want the flex to get wider tyres in a frame like this (28,32mm even).

The good news is that being a taller person, larger size bikes are less coveted than average size ones, so there should be some slow moving alternative choices out there.

Thank you! Yeah I thought it might be a bit on the pricey side so would deffo go see it/make an offer. keeping my eyes open for other options but not too many big frames about near me at the moment
