Been meaning to toss this on ebay but haven't gotten around to it. Columbus Genius frame. Paint is a little rough from a couple chain drops and you can see some tire rub but all the pretty parts people stare at are clean and ding free. 55cm seat 55cm tt.
Would really like a nice track frame/bike for my wife 52cm or a classic DeRosa in 54cm for me.

I wish I had something you needed. And that I was in the States to try and arraign something. The only thing I have on the block is an 83 Centurion Pro-tour, probably not what you are looking for.

Trading a trek 660 if anyone's interested. Lovely bike but slightly too big, and i'm looking for a bicycle 53-55cm this time. The trek 660 is 22.5"/57 center to top of seat lug, ~56.5 c-c top tube.
Local to NYC. I'd be willing to pay cash as well for a slightly nicer bike.
Don't hesitate to reach out for any pictures or questions!

Looking to trade for something my size 49-52 cm. Prefer 80-90's track, but open to roadies too.
From the research I could gather this is a Kharkiv Bicycle Factory XB3 Rekord track training bike from the 80s. Built in USSR/Ukraine and looks to be all original sans the new Tufo tubulars. Prod #811 , Year 1984
Measures 57cm c-c ST and TT with an 84cm Standover

Looking to trade this 1984 Specialized StumpJumper Sport that is slightly too small for me, for a similar vintage steel MTB/Touring frame that is slightly larger. Includes frame/fork, headset, cranks, seat post and bull moose bars/brake levers. Pictured with 650b x 40mm wheels/tires (not included). The frame measures 21.5" seat tube by 22.5" top tube (center-to-center). Would like to find something larger in a 22"-23.5" seat tube size (maybe even a little larger) and about a 23" top tube.
Please message me if you might have something of interest for trade!

Exchange large Peugeot PRN10 for medium sized whatever
Hi folks,
Because of my penchant for salvaging vintage bicycles, the bike co-op that I volunteer at has offered me a 77 or 78 Peugeot PRN10E frame set. It’s dirty and a little rough with lots paint chips/scrapes and some surface rust. The frame is straight with no dents and no visible dings. It’s been stripped of major components; Stronglight 49 crankset and Mafac Racer brakes. The headset is French and I assume that the BB is also. Currently, only the fixed cup is installed, but it rest is probably somewhere in the shop bins and I’ll try to find it. I saw the Atax stem and Phillippe bars on a shelf. They are corroded, but should polish up. It has one of the all metal Simplex RDs (Prestige?) on it and those nifty shifters with the plastic boots. I have a Sachs-Huret FD if you would like to keep the shifting French.
I’d take this on and build it up with some bin parts, but at 62cm it is way to big for me. As the header says, I’d like to trade it for something of similar value, but smaller. I would prefer a chrome-moly frame with “forged” dropouts that was designed for 700C wheels. Seat tube CTC 54-55 and top tube 54-56. The only critical thing is the sizing.
If you are a tall person interested in building a frame like this as a commuter or beater, PM me your e-mail and I’ll send pix and answer any questions.
Regards,
Van

I have a 53cm ctc square Puch Force XII full Reynolds 531 frame/fork/headset (Tange). Paint is decent, some decals are scratched and/or missing.
I also have an Italvega from the early 70s with Columbus tre tubi and chrome lugs and socks. No decals, fair amount of scratches but no dents. Chrome is good. 61 ctc ST and 58 ctc TT.
No rust in either!
I am looking for similar, light and lively, frame in 56cm.
thank you.

Hi everyone,
I have a 23" or 58cm 1990 Schwinn Voyageur touring frame (Tange DB cromoly steel frame and fork). I inherited the bike from family some years ago, but the frame is too small. I am 6'3" with a 34" inseam, and am looking to trade for another 1980s 60-63cm touring frame of similar quality to hang my parts from (Miyata, Lotus, Centurion, Schwinn, Cannondale, Trek, Panasonic, etc.) The Voyageur frame and paint is in good shape, with a few scratches here and there. It wears its original shop sticker and identifying decals. Three bottle bosses, a pump peg on the head tube, and fork mounts for racks front and back. A classic of the 1980s production touring bicycle heyday. New Shimano UN-55 bottom bracket done recently, and the headset serviced. Here it is currently. I will update with more photos.

@Ged117, you and I have spoken of this. This bike is beautiful. It looks like you've made it work. Which dimension is too small?

I've got enough '80s campy bits (english thread) to build something up in the 56-57cm range. PM me if you have something with shipping to seattle.

@Ged117, I don't know enough about this stuff to analyze your problem. Maybe we could help if you posted pictures of a bike you have whose fit works for you. I see your handlebars are swept way back, negating all that extension on your stem.
If you can't get your feet in the right place, maybe the seat tube angle doesn't suit you, and a different size frame may not help. Or maybe the crank length is bad for you. What length is it?

Hi Tom. When I was gifted this bike, I knew next to nothing about fit or bike sizing. I rode it for a long time in its original configuration with drop bars and low stem. I had a lot of neck pain even on short rides, and eventually I tried a higher, closer reach Nitto stem which did not help (and is there now with the Albatross bar, but I think the stem is way too short which has caused all the issues). Now when I ride, the centre of gravity feels off, and my feet are not on the right spot on the pedals, causing knee issues (on my 61 cm Peugeot, my feet are in perfect position). Do you think a too-short stem would cause that? Perhaps my hips are not flexing forward as they do on a longer reach bike? My inseam is 34" but I don't have a long torso.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I'm only 5'10" but 32" inseam, so long femurs, which require the saddle is set back from the crankset. The seat tube angle, seatpost setback, and short-railed Brooks, all contribute to the setback for your femurs, or thighbones. I've had to buy the longest setback-seatposts (UNO) I could find to get Brooks saddles to work. In some cases, where I was unwilling to spend the money on a seatpost, I couldn't use a Brooks, so I used a more conventional saddle (as far as rail length). For a while I was even mounting very long mtn bike downhill saddles on various road bikes to get my knees in the right position over the cranks.
The other issue is torso length, and mine is short. My Peugeot was a strange 58cm seat tube and 60cm top tube! So I had to mount both a short-reach stem and the long sweepback Albatross to make it work. Ultimately it was all worth it because I ended up with an upright bike (necessary for me @ 66!) that was extremely comfortable and stable.

Big frame for medium one
BUMP! Here’s hoping there is someone looking for a smooth riding, large frame for themselves or another and has something smaller to trade. Since the original posting I’ve done a solvent wipe down and found just a bit of surface rust where the paint is chipped or flaked. The frame set package includes original Simplex RD, DT shifters/cable guides, the French threaded Stronglight BB and Phillippe bars with Atax stem, plus a Sachs Huret FD and some sturdy Huret DT friction shifters. I also have a DiaCompe center-pull brake set with quick releases in the road levers that I’ll include if the trader would like. Sorry, someone already snagged the rest of the French parts.

1983 Fuji Supreme
I have a 1983 (could be '82) Fuji Supreme that was given to me. It appears to be a 25" frame (measured from top of seat tube to center of crank and is too big for me. It was pretty crusty, so I disassembled the bike and soaked the rusty frame areas with Evaporust as an experiment for my other bikes. The frame will need some more work to remove the rust as well as protection or repaint. It has what I believe are all of the original components - Sugino cranks, Suntour AR derailuers, Diacomp brakes, Nitto aluminum handlebar, aluminum rims. Free pickup in Cincinnati, OH.
