Beauty.

TT 53 cm...it may fit me...as I cycle a vintage road bike with 51 cm TT and 10 cm stem...

There, you'd done it now :)
Pedal to the metal! Wind, rain, hills, braking power permitting ;)

Having looked at the replies on the listing from the serial number it would seem to be a 520S looking at the Audax 853 Brochure the virtual top tube is 52cm so even closer to your vintage road bike.
It would also be a good fit for Jags.

Hi
I contacted the sellers. They kindly upturned and read off the serial number and size- it is indeed a 520s.

I didn't bid due to the TT being listed as 21". Argh!

Ah well my XTC can carry a lot more ^_^

But a bit bummer as 52CM is perfect and the bit of wear/tear is fine, brakes are cheap.

What do you mean jags? That's perfectly normal a few scuffs, you don't need repaint unless the paint is so fubarred there's no more rust protection.
