Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

how much?

Hi

New to the forum and after some advice.

I bought this https://www.flickr.com/photos/samiad0...in/photostream on a bit of a whim 2 months ago for £250. It's was bought for £850 originally and shipped over from Oz.

It's a great bike but it's just too small for me (56cm) i'm 6'1". How much do you guys think i could get for it?

I gather Azzurri are big in Oz but not well know in the UK.

Azzurri are a generic-ish Italian in name only bike brand here. 56cm and 6 foot 1 may just require stem/post changes.

I've changed to a longer stem and set the seat as far back as possible and still get a bad back. Could also get seat post with big set back/lay back but this will only give a few extra mm.

Ideally i'd try and sell it for more or less what i bought it for and get something a little bigger.
