Gazelle Superb...LAST CHANCE BEFORE THE BAY..

[Sithlord]

its slightly sloping ? isn't it ?
it is equivalent to a 54 CT "traditional" no ? (with top tube about the same length at 54)
I am 1.74 or about 5'8. Would it fit ? ( I am not short arsed I believe - 82 cm "entrejambe"

Yes it is a compact frame i.e sloping top tube and I believe it to be equivalent to a 54 .

I would think it would fit you nicely at 5' 8" but this is of course all down to personal prefrences..

So it is going already, Si

I've seen it, had it in my hands and so on. It is a very nice frame. Sad it doesn't fit.

It could very be I know someone for it. I will point him at it.

That would be fantastic , really cant believe this has not been snapped up, could be the size, really annoyed it does'nt fit me but it has to go.. as its a very naughty frame just sat there , peeking out the box, teasing me :roll: :roll:

Much appreciated...

I agree but my wife wouldn't
that is the reason I will pass I am afraid.
Do not wish to fight over this at home - I have got enough of these "fights" already I am afraid :cry:

With me the only put off is my current lack of funds as the wife is insisting on a proper holiday this year, not camping in the mud as usual.

Agreed. I'm 5'9" and half my road bikes have a 55 top tube. The others have a 54. This frame would probably be a great fit for somebody who is 5'8."
