might go after that frame myself if it fits it might just suit me fine.
i really don't mind a centermiter to big or small i could adjust reach with stem/ saddle  ,I'll make it fit in other words. ;)problem might be heal clearence ::)

SJS reckons i need a 52.5 S/M when i gave them my measurements for the Audax.

I've a very short upper body, so a 52.5 S may be OK for me, but an M/L definitely not.

Go for it then it's a lovely comfy frame you won't regret it ^_^

i would have bought but he had already sold it.
when i can afford i'll buy new, waste of time looking for quality  used frames.
unless your name happens to be jags ::)

Still looking...

:)

The 445M may be a tad low for me as it's 6 cm lower than the 525L I am currently cycling.

Tx ^_^

I had a look but a 50 cm ST (per seller) means it's a 560S or 560L... :/

490S/525S are the proverbial hen's teeth, however the 525L behaved fine in Scotland even with a short stem on gravelly roads, I guess me and him are just meant to be together?
