Looking to buy used old-school Speck ham or second-hand racing bikes!

The title pretty much says it all! If someone is actually selling 😉

So you fixing them up?
Got a fixie Nabu in stock by any chance?

I've got a steel frame, size 55cm, weighing in at 3.5kg with the fork included, if that helps...

Steven Kern81 said:I've got a steel frame, size 22 inches, weighing in at about 7.7 pounds with the fork, just in case you were wondering...

Can I get a pic?

Got a vintage fixie just sitting around in your garage or something?

Look, I'm looking to buy something because I need it for commuting and training, but money isn't exactly flowing right now. So, I was thinking about either restoring an old frame or maybe just picking up a decent used road bike from someone on Craigslist.

I don't have a photo on me. I could send you a quick text if you want, 👍

Fine by me. I'll DM you my number.

Look, I've got a solid lead if you aren't looking to drop a mountain of cash.

I think I’ve got one sitting in my garage, maybe a 22-inch model—if that’s actually considered the smaller size
The price is honestly negligible $0.00, really, just help me get it out of my garage because it’s starting to feel like clutter
Feel free to reach out if you're interested; otherwise, I’m local to New York City, over in the Duggan area

Honestly, the price is whatever you want, really $0.00—just please, take it off my hands. It's just taking up space and driving me crazy.
Shoot me a message if you're interested. Otherwise, I'm right here in New York City (over in Queens).

Any chance you could post a photo?

Charles Hill35 said:Is there any way we could get a photo of this?

It should be coming through shortly.

amberpanther56 said:should be happening soon

Right... 😉

Um, excuse me... isn't that basically just a toddler's tricycle? I mean—24'' wheels?😬

goldenviper752 said:Wait a second... isn't that just a glorified tricycle? I mean, we're really talking about twenty-four-inch wheels here?😬

I can't quite recall what I mentioned in my previous posts, but if my memory serves me right, back in the eighties, we were dealing with two distinct types of sausages—there were those larger ones, maybe around an eighteen-inch variety, and then there was the smaller, kid-friendly version. That’s really all there is to it.

Look, I don’t mean to sound like a know-it-all—I really don't—but if you've settled on a 55cm frame, you're looking at a pretty massive racing rig, especially for someone in the 5'7" to 5'11" range.

You’ll want to measure the seat tube length exactly like they show in this photo—just look for the "H" designation.

Just measure the seat tube length, specifically the dimension labeled H in the diagram.

My bad, what I meant to say earlier was I think it's 55 cm, so I was just wondering if that counts as the smaller size

amberpanther56 said:Sorry—I think I misspoke earlier when I mentioned it was a 22-inch frame and was wondering if that counts as the smaller size

Well, I had always assumed that if you were offering something up for sale, you'd have enough expertise to signal whether it was intended for adults or not—you know, just common sense! And yes, a 22-inch frame is definitely on the smaller side for an adult; after all, you can find frames in 25, 26, or even 28 inches—there are plenty of larger options out there than the 22.
