anyone know where I could do this? best place? Depends on what bike/spec /price etc. Ebay is good for selling, I got rid of a road bike there, that wouldnt sell in Cycling Weekly. If it is reasonable spec, then an ad here, or on any of the online ads list would be worth a try (Singletrack.co.uk is quite good). If it is a crap old MTB/crap old road bike, then local papers are about the only place to sell.

It's a decent spec MTB by Specialized. Turns out to be too big for me and am
injuring myself riding. Are you sure this group would accept a bike ad? Thanks for the extra info! "A Lee" wrote in message m... Default wrote: anyone know where I could do this? best place?

Are you sure this group would accept a bike ad? Occasional private ads are tolerated, put FS: in the subject, and dont post the same thing more than once a week, and no-one will complain. I've bought 2 bikes off here in the past, so they do get noticed. Alan. -- Change the 'minus' to 'plus' to reply by e-mail. http://www.dvatc.co.uk - Off-road Cycling in the North Midlands. |

If the latter, would it be possible for you change a few parts; the stem, for example. James -- http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.butty/Dscf0632.jpg |

HI James,
The bike is a 23" which turns out to be big for me. I imagine if you're 6' tall then it should be fine for you. The shop I originally bought it from didn't do a very good job of advising properly as to size, hence ended up buying in all the excitement of the moment. I'm not really into changing parts with those out of spec, but I'm sure if you're in the know, modding is probably second nature. A really good bike though. Joe "James Hodson" wrote in message ...

Hi Joe I'm certainly not "in the know" and please don't you ever again try to imply that I am! :-) FWIW, I'm 6'00" and my road bike is grabs tape measure around ... I really have no idea. How does one measure a bike's size these days? Road bike: BB to bottom of seat pin = about 25" MTB bike: BB to bottom of seat pin = about 19.5" (this is the correct size according to Trek - I bought a 19.5" bike) The above simply says that bikes' sizes can no longer be compared. I cannot find the documentation for my road bike but I'm reasonably sure that it was sized at 55cms - approx 21.5 inches. It's been said befo "Size isn't everything."

It's the top tube and head tube lengths that matter. -- David Brown ) http://kitemap.co.uk/stack/ |
