How big does this Bike look to you?

Angerer · 10 May 2011 at 12:40

Hello all I am interested in buying this Bike but it looks like a 17"? Would it be too small for me I am 6ft tall?

And do you think it's worth £250? The bike is a Giant Terrago and is second hand.

Thanks

Yes, most definitely.

Holy mother of....It looks slightly high to your average bike.

Angerer · 10 May 2011 at 12:45

Thanks Russinating

You think a 21" would be better for me?

By the look of that, someone already too tall for it is riding it!

Fairly high seatpost position, but it also looks like one of those 'extra-rise' bar sets on the front.

Not worth anywhere near £250 either IMO.

Yeah i hear ya dude. What sort of Bike would you buy for around £150 - 200 max?

I was only looking to spend around £100 - 120 but seeing what bikes are out there for that price I had to raise my budget.
Looking second hand as can't really justify spending £300+ on a bike at the minute

That looks a lot bigger than a 17" frame to me, 19-20" at least I'd say.

At 6ft you're looking at around 19" as an ideal frame size anyway, but it depends on other things such as how long your upper body & arms are.

Go and sit on it before you hand over any loot, and bid him £200.

Thanks Chris, yeah woudn't be a bad move to go check the Bike out first, do you think it's worth 200 notes? does look in decent condition.

Impossible to tell as there is no scale/perspective to the bike.
As the seller to put it next to another bike - or stand next to it and tell us his height.
