it is just a second hand frame that a guy sells in my hometown.no post,hand to hand trade.just because im on a tight budget,ive been looking for quite a long time to come across to a "bargain" from the used ones.if i had the extra money ill take and some other frames into account,that suit more properly to me.but this one costs around 80euros-(quite rare price) and some other usually come in the 300-500 price scale.

(another question.is it my idea or not that the modern frame industry wants to put the rider into an as smaller frame as possible (ex.compact geometry) in order to make some profit from the lesser amount of material used to build that "smaller" frame?

for instance the official site of merida suits me for a small frame,with 53 toptube)

all and all,bottom line,if you were me,you think you could deal with that larger size merida frame,or it will be a definetely "no"?

i have to mention that i allready have an everyday beater/commuter for around the city,with 1'' slicks on 26''wheels.(ex steel mtb with rigid fork)

thanks for your time and your replies to all.
