Is it just me, or does this bike look a lot taller than 57.5 cm?

Yeah, I thought so too. I figured 59-60.

Is she riding on Big Apples or Fat Franks? Width?

I have a 91 StumpJumper that I will be fixing up and I need new tires for mostly street with some dirt/gravel.
I was considering the 2.0 Big Apples (RaceGuard) or Conti Travel Contacts.

My wife has them on her Stumpjumper and she can give fits to some of the guys we ride with her climbing ability.

I actually like these quite a bit.

This would make a nice drop bar conversion for a taller person. Nice color. I think someone here has one:

Not really C&V, but makes for a great commuter and the price is right.

Yes. My guess is 60 ctc. But if I was looking for one I would go measure it just for peace of mind.

I probably will. I emailed the seller, but he didn't really seem to know how to measure a bike.

proper track bikes always look taller, my benotto measures 55 and is my best fitting bike but looks like a 57 or 58, high bottom bracket, steep geometry does that

I run the same tire on my Miyata fishing rig.

Thanks gomango, those are two good looking MTBs. I was already leaning towards the Fat Franks
Mine is white, so white tires would be too much imho.

Even if the fork wasn't bent, it would be high. Buying a crashed bike in poor condition?? Run far away.

wrk101/Bill knows. Low end Campy parts really don't make this thing special, just a little sad.

Yeah. That looks exactly like a 58cm track bike with proper geometry.

A couple of years back, I realized I was on track to purchase a new (to me) house. Since then, I started amassing images of organization within garages and shops. I still keep the archive going (which this will go into). One day, I'll post them all on C&V just to see what else people have and begin an archived spot for them.

I'm looking for some advice here...I found this local Craigslist ad and I'm not sure whether I should jump on it. I only want the Stages power meter that's included, and the seller said that he won't part out. Can I safely sell this bike for $1000? I'm just trying my best to find a cheap power meter, and this seems like a roundabout, but effective way of doing so.

It would be worth at least that much. Could you sell it for $1000? Sure. Ask for the old derailleur and cassette too.
