Buy A Bike For 99p!

Thanks OP.
Looks like a good deal - only thing is I can't see a way of specifying a frame size when trying to order an adult male bike (at least not without going through payment first and I didn't go that far).
I'd really like to make an order but I don't want to end up with a bike that is too big - I'm not the tallest.
Has anyone else ordered yet and able to answer the question - is it possible to specify frame size?

Agreed it does seem a litle missleading

Ahdza, that's the wheel size.

26" wheels are fairly standard for a bike designed for adult male but the frame size matters because riding a bike that is too big has a tendency to hurt back and shoulders and might result in people not reaching the ground when trying to dismount.

For example 16 or 17 inch frames suit me but I'd struggle with a frame more than 20 inches.

Those are the wheel sizes, not the frame size. i.e 26" is standard adult mountain bike wheel diameter. Frame sizes can cary enormously.

Yes. I don't understand why people go to a site that has "consumer revenge" plastered all over it and then simply regurgitate the marketing nonsense of the retailers!

I wouldn't worry - I doubt these will last long enough for you to get to the stage of suffering back pain anyway...
