Explosif

Angle is not great, but looks more like an 18" from where I'm sitting.

def. diff. to tell what size it is :?

quite OE, except bars, tires and maybe some other stuff not visible on that single pic.

and tyres are not PIRELLI - they are MICHELIN

Forks have suffered a bit too

l reckon it is a 19" that headtube def looks a bit long to be an 18".
l await Anthonys opinion though as l am often wrong about these things!

Lay a straight-edge along the tops of the tyres. If it's a size 18, the line will pass through the centre of the intersection of the top tube with the seat tube.

In this case, the fork has collapsed, so you need to adjust for that in placing the left side of the straight-edge where the top of the tyre should be. The line here passes about an inch below the intersection, so it's a size 19.

He says it's defo 19":

19" Centre to top of down tube

23" centre to centre top tube

I'm sure a good clean will bring that up nice but I'm still very :? about the price. Some of that kit has seen better days.
