What size do you think this 856 is?
« on: January 07, 2006, 02:26:27 pm »
Hey guys,
I'm looking at getting this frame off ebay to build up for my girlfriend, but the seller isn't sure of the size and isn't inclined to measure it.
Would any 856 owners care to make a guesstimate??
Cheers,
Luke [smiley=beer.gif]

PS- my girlfriend is a little vertically challenged so the smaller the better! [smiley=laughing.gif]

a medium is a 16.It would have had a sticker on the back of the seat tube just below the brake cable port.It looks smallish,cos the benb in the top tube looks quite acute.Its not a small tho cos they have the shock mount virtually thru the top tube,and they would be unlikely to have a nollen shock cos they need a special one.In closing my vote is a medium as stated in the ad
