Trouble is I can't remember what the sizes are.

This is mine (look how thick the seat/chain stays are).

he said he's got Skyway bars and other parts but he said they're all a bit rusty now.......so a nice little resto project to keep me quiet :daumenhoch:

i'm sure he'll get a few drinks out of it though..........but no mention of dry bumming please! :shocked:
