I'm nearly 50!

Does 6ft qualify me as a short arse?

Bigger issue maybe that due to back troubles I dont like a too "streched out" riding position...

So maybe a 16" frame with a longish seat post might be an option?

PS: How can you tell the £60 one isn't real, and I'd much rather buy from here rather than ebay.

doh didn't read your post properly

the £60 frame - dropout not right, rear triangle as awhole don't look right, no external butting marks (which is really obvious to spot - just search through readers bikes to see an example or three), cable stops in wrong place, tubing not square more squared oval etc etc

It went for £310!

If it is a fake some one is going to be pi**ed off!

Don't worry the good folk over at singletrackworld stitched the seller up. See ebay/marketplace watch on here for full details. There is a red team issue RC200 with good spec for sale at the moment too.

good on them!

I'm "watching" the red team issue but i'd rather build a frame up with my own parts. However do you reckon the £800 buy in now price is fair?
