Classic hardtail for tall person
October 24, 2011, 03:09:57 pm
Any tall people tempted by a classic hardtail ?

It's a Pace RC200 f8, 10 years old. 21" frame (or something like that, it's the largest that they made)

Bushes have gone on the forks and seat post is siezed in.

WOW.

I've been lusting after one of these since I was about 16!  :'(

I used to get comments like that alot when I was out riding it.

Now it's just laying in the shed, as you see it, waiting for a new purpose in life.

I guess because it is pretty big that it won't fit many people, but I had expected that somebody might make me an offer for it by now. I'm open to any offers. Otherwise I can't decide whether to turn it into a winter road bike or throw it in a skip.

christ i'd sooner have it and hang it from the wall than see you throw it in a skip!

far too big for me and a real shame about the seatpost. And I don't need another project!

Presumably a framebuilder could use some magic tricks to free that up?
