i've been drawn to skinny steel road bikes for a while now,
out of the blue my dad asks:
'd'you remember my old road bike?'
'..er, no?'
'do you want it?'

it turns out he was given it by a colleague who's husband had left, my Dad never really used it - the black anodising on the original black rims is only just starting to wear through...
How tall are you??
dissapointed, i was expecting to see his stash of magazines
Thats a fair old gate that one!
How tall is your dad?
i'm 6'2" - 36" inside leg, same as my Dad.
it feels a little big/awkward, but the flat stem and funky old-school handlebars probably don't help...
(more 'ar53 up - head down' than reachy)

+1
his magazines are being discussed on the 'chat' forum...
You rode a bigger frame years ago. I bought a 25" raleigh back in '84 but my ribble that i ride now is 58cm
Too many gears let alone chain rings 😮
