Is this really a Losa? Giani used heart shaped cut outs I thought? These look more like tulips? No Losa imprint anywhere either, frame number etc?

I might be completely off kilter, looks like a nice build, but just odd?

Having said that, i've just seen another one on the net, that uses the little tear drops around the place and has the same cut out shape on the bb, so.... i'm learning...

This could be right up Mrs Milkfloat's street. Can anyone help out here with sizing (I don't speak retro). Would 28" suit someone who is 5'10"? Plus would anyone like to hazard a guess at the weight?

Having seen the bike I wouldn't worry re size quoted the bike I collected was quoted as an 18" yet is 21 1/2" and having seen this one I should think it will be fine for somebody 5ft 10" area .
I would budget for new tyres and tubes as been sat unused for a few years along with some fresh grease .

Go on treat her

I think 28 inch refers to the wheels (700c) and it looks to be a largish medium frame so probably about right for someone 5ft 10" with the seat raised a bit more (depends on how long her legs are)
Judging by the head tube its about a 23 1/2" equivalent

Thanks both - I have forwarded it on the the Jury. She is most particular when it comes to colour and style, I am trying to wean her onto something a bit lighter and faster than her inherited Pashley with rod brakes

 

[Milkfloat]

Well Mrs Milkfloat has taken the bait - I get a mini-project to cut me teeth on, she gets out of the aggressive geometried (I think i made up a new word) new bike I was about to buy and even better, a mate of mine happens to visiting Milton keynes this weekend. All in all it has worked out perfectly. Many Thanks @biggs682 BIKE PUCHASED. Milkfloat Stable now up to 9. Just need a replacement for Jnr Milfloat - anyone know of a lightweight 24" wheel girls bike for sale?

 

[biggs682]

@Milkfloat hopefully she wont be dissapointed

Scapin road bike, 54 cm, Columbus tubing. Quite nice so probably no bargains to be had here.

Lot of mentions of L'eroica in the descriptions of classic bikes now- look at this one.

 

[palinurus]

is the saddest bike on ebay?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carlton-r...008?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1a013ad2f8

Wish I'd bought that, could've made the gnarliest rat bike in Britain. Slap a new chain on, some tyres and wrap the bars with some bloodied bandages- done.

@Milkfloat hopefully she wont be dissapointed

Bike was collected, I spent a few hours cleaning it up. There is practically nothing wrong with it, probably just some tyres and tubes. I don't think it has been ridden for more than 10 miles in its life. Even better, Mrs Milkfloat loves it, maybe not quite as much as her Pashley, but certainly close.

Thanks for the heads up. That is two bikes purchased this weekend

@ChrisEyles it sure does just a bit far away for me

I don't know if anyone has spotted it but there is a nice looking Holdsworth Cyclone I think for sale on EBay. 25 inch frame restored some years ago in flamboyant green.
