Ideal Dale Killer V framesize?

[Alp*Willi]

Hi guys

Sat at home recovering from hip surgery and contemplating a new project to give me something to look fwd to next year.

Came across a Killer V up for sale on Fleabay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

This would be an excellent stable m8 to my other dale but I'm not sure if the size is large enough? I'm 6'2" and with the design of the frame, not sure if it could be a little cramped :shock: (Not sure what the £12 in the P&P is for when collection is in person?! :shock: )

Any thoughts from the Druids of Retrobikes?

Oh, if it is a good fit, would one of you fine chaps be able to help out with collection?

I feel you may regret 'outing' that one....

Size wise, I'm about 6' 1&1/2" and a 19" fits me just right, that said bikes vary hugely (my GT is officially an 18" - actually 20" C-T) and bodies vary hugely, if it's cheap though you shouldn't worry about it too much - someone on here will be happy to take it off your hands if it doesn't fit.

I'd ask the seller about the headtube size BTW, you may find you need an 1 1/4" fork.

Fairly flush on the 1 1/4 bits - my Cro Mega and Dale are both those sizes. I'm sure I'll find something that'll fit

Cheers for the advice

Mine was 18 inch centre to centre and 21 .5 toptube and I found it to short, get him to give you the effective top tube lenght and you can take it from there- would be a great project
