Wabi mystery size
Hey guys I'm looking at picking up this Wabi Thunder, but the guy doesn't know what size it is. He bought it used and the size sticker was taken off. Wondering of any one could tell roughly by the picture?

That's a really long head tube, so it is likely 60cm or larger. He should be able to measure it easily.
otherwise ask him how tall he is. The bike appears too tall for him given the lack of exposure on the seat post. Should be at least a hand's width.
How can somebody own a Wabi and not remember the size? Maybe it was pre-owned before him.

Wabi measures the seatube center to center, so that frame is at least 2 cm taller based on center to top measurement. Anyways, it is probably meant for someone well over 6 feet tall.

looks like a 60+. I don’t think Wabi puts a sticker of the bike size. Mine didn’t come with one. The color looks like a Wabi Classic and not a Thunder. Get the number located under the bottom bracket and email it to Wabi. I’m sure they will give you info on the bike.

That's a 60cm Wabi Classic. Looks just like my 60cm Wabi Classic, except in a different color.

Thank you guys for the info. I passed on it. The guys asking $300 and I was really hoping it was 55cm, but just the way things go sometimes.

Great thank you!! I sold my 52cm that was a little small a few years ago and regretted it instantly. Such a smooth comfortable bike!

Thanks for the referral, Jay4usc! WesleeC, I have a 55cm Wabi Classic in black, built (by me) from the frame up in 2014. If you're interested, send me a PM.
