Top tube length is 52 cm. Please see, http://archive.giant-bicycles.com/us/050.000.000/050.600.100.asp?sPageID=050.600.100 regarding sizing of this bike as the geometry is quite different from a regular road bike.
Under my care the bike has been serviced every six weeks (a mate is a bike mechanic, lucky me!) whilst in use. I rode the bike from October through to April. The bike was then pack away for summer. When I got the bike out of storage a few weeks ago I put on a brand new chain and had it serviced again. I know this sounds like overkill, but I'm just try to emphasise how well looked after this bike is. The bike has been ridden about four times in the last few weeks.
It's a loverly bike, but there are all the signs of use that you would normally get with a frame of this age. There are no cracks or damage to the frame, but there is the odd scuff.
To put this bike together I paid £650. I'm just looking for around £450 o.n.o.
I'm only selling because I now own another bike and just don't have the storage space, so the wife says, but the living room only has two bike in there
