You guys must be tired of me asking all these questions. Well, here's another. What do you guys think this bike? https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...1979&rd=1&rd=1

The reserve wasn't met so I can have it for what my high bid was. $1051. I have less than 24hrs to accept.
Don't tell me to get it in order to stop all the questions. Also, are all the Six13 frames carbon and aluminum? I'm looking that up but I figured someone might know it off the top of their head.

I'd go for it.

The high bid looks to be $1275.

DUHI4GOT

That was another bidder's high bid. I got the offer through Ebay with a "buy it now" at what my high bid was

Do it.

This is the first Six/13 that had the carbon insert in the seat tube. The later version took that out to add stiffness and remove weight (imagine that, putting in aluminum, taking out carbon, frame weight goes down!)...this one's a little "springier" in the back than the newer one (new one has a seat tube with a wider circumference), but I had this frame for a year and about 8,500 miles and I really liked it.

For that price, go for it. No doubts.

That is the biggest no bicycle no brainer I've seen in a while. Buy the bike.

Next question.

Alternatively, shut up and ride.

By all indications, it seem like a great deal. My only concern now is fitment. I'm 5'10 with a 34" inseam and the frame is a 56cm. I'm guessing it should fit, but then again, I haven't purchased a bicycle in over 15 years.

Almost seems to good to be true, but if you're paying thru ebay and paypal you should be fairly safe. I'd go for it, it's a pretty good deal.

I'm 5'10 with a 32" inseam, and a 56 fits me, you could probably get away with a 58 if you had to, all depends on your upper body reach, and overall flexability. Either way, most bikes have a good enough range of adjustment (stem height, stem length, seat post length, seat for/aft) that you should be able to get fit without to much trouble. If you can straddle the bike with 1-2" clearance over the Top Tube, then setup the seat height so your heel just parely reach's the pedal at the bottom, then put your foot on the pedal normally and adjust the seat forward or back so the front of you're knee cap is roughly right above the pedal axel when the pedals is at 9 o clock (or 3 o clock depending on what side you're looking at). Last, adjust the stem height by moving the spacers so the bars are a comfortable height for you to reach, when you're in the drops, the top of the handle bar should roughly be directly in your linesight of the front wheels hub. If not don't worry, there are a wide range of stem size's avaialbe, and most decent sized stems can be had for 50-100$ depending where you shop.
If you can get this position on the bike without any discomfort it's probably a good fit. From there fine tune your fit to your liking as the above mentioned is mostly just a commonly accepted starting point for getting fit to a bike.
You could also take it to a shop.

It's a very good deal. Frame alone typically sells around $600-800 on eBay.

rpc180

I'd go for it too. That's far better price/component ratio than either of my Cannondales

DScott

Nice bike! I'd do it...

DUHI4GOT

Thanks for all the info guys. I just paid through Paypal. And thanks for putting up with all the redundant questions.

Be careful you aren't getting scam emails man.

DUHI4GOT

I hope it's not. I went through Ebay and used paypal. He contacted me to confirm shipping address.

ROJA

I am 5'9" with a 33" inseam and I ride a 56 cm Six13. Assuming your dimensions are close to mine, it should be a good fit!

SvenDah

+1 on the fit, I'm 5'11 with a 32 inseam and my 56 Six13 works for me.

You have to be very careful with these 2nd chance emails that appear to come from ebay. I've bid on a couple of bikes on ebay over the last several months and I will sometimes receive an email that looks to be a 2nd chance offer but is actually a scam. I've received several 2nd chance offers for the same auction from different senders. I'm guessing the scammer get's the email addresses from the bid history list and sends a very convincing email (same legit format as from ebay) to the entire list to see who will respond. In most cases it can be identified as a scam by the originating email address or domain. If I receive one of these I'll look in the email header to determine if I feel comfortable with who sent it. Not trying to scare you, just giving you some info to consider when using ebay and the second chance offer seems very much in your favor.

Here's a link to ebay's site detailing how to tell if a second chance offer is legit.

If the seller has contacted you and it's the same email address as the seller in the auction then you probably won't have any issues.

DUHI4GOT

I just checked it out following the link you provided and it looks legit. Just waiting for shipping confirmation.
