Work away from home over the summer and this doesn't get used.

56 size. I'm 5'10, probably not ideal for anyone much smaller.

Its got a rack fitted now, and a correctly tensioned chain.

No seatpost as its on the MTB for now but i'll probably sort that!

Obvioussly if you break/lose it i'd like it sorted.

Alternatively offer me a lot of £££ and you can buy it 😉

I think you cut up a white van today and just want somebody else to be riding it when the bloke spots it again. 😆

Are the seat tube etc full of cocaine or something and you're hiding it from the fuzz?

Anyone? Seems a waste sitting here.

Saddle/seatpost now fitted. It'll need some pedals and a tube, but otherwise ready to go

Is it singlespeed or fixed? I've been thinking of buying one so if you want to get rid then I'd happily look after it. I live in Kilmarnock and ride to south side of Glasgow most days. Would be nice to have a summer bike.

Duh forget the ss/fixed question didn't notice the tensioner.

Although I'm 5'8" and a bit so may be too big.

That'd fit me, I don't have a working road bike, there's a 105 groupset on my old bike, all my friends have road or CX bikes and I can't go riding with them, I live in the Glasgow area.

Must resist temptation.....

My wife would kill me.....

I don't actually [i]need[/i] another bike....

rockthreegozy looks like downshep needs it more than I do so he can have first call on it. I've got other bikes and it would be selfish of me to take it.

Downshep I'll be picking the bike up tomorrow unless you say otherwise. I'd rather you had it as I don't 'need' it. Can you drop rockthreegozy an email or post on here.

Very kind sir. My road bike is a long dead Dawes Debonair. A summer loan may just rekindle a dormant interest. I'll e-mail rtg.
