Mmmmm, I am interested, but what's the overall paint condition like? Looks more like a 58 rather than a 60 cm to me.

Sounds like a scene in a horror movie. Just too big for me as well, thank goodness. I always wanted to try one of these.

It looks like it would make a great project to keep you in the basement away from family visitors in your home.

I have the same frame in 22.5, which is on my small size, but I'm pretty sure that 24.5 is just to large for me as well.

Trade you a box of cranksets for it, and a case of your favorite beer, delivered to your door.

I'll give you $10 and a box of Jello Pudding pops. I don't need them anymore. I'll get them from my mom and dad's freezer.

I'm curious about the chainset and the chainguard. Would you be willing to pull them off and sell them separately? I've been looking for that exact TA chainset and a similar chainguard and have had no success at finding them at a price I'd be willing to pay. LMK.

I just realised that the chainset appears to have the dustcaps missing. What's up with that? Do you have them?

I have a 23.5, and this one would fit me much better. Mine doesn't have very good paint though. I know mine probably isn't small enough either, being only an inch different..,,,,BD
