Road bikes must be properly sized to the rider. I suggest you post the seat tube length (it may be on the tube itself, or just measure the length from the center of the BB to the centerline of the top tube) For anyone interested, this frame is what is called a compact frame, which differs from a traditional road frame, in that it has a sloping and shorter top tube, which maintaining the head tube angles and seat tube angles found in traditional frames. That being said, they cannot be sized via the standover height, as it will appear to be a lot. Traditional geometry road frame are designed more for in the saddle climber, compacts are for power climber who do a lot of pedalling out of the saddle. To the seller I can list the entire spec list of the bike if it’ll help. ---

Here are the specs: Frame: Nishiki Century (2003), compact road frame, 6061 T-6 aluminum Fork:4130 chromoly, 1 1/8" threadless, 35mm rake Handlebars: 6061 aluminum 44mm width, single cable routing Stem:6061 Aluminum adjustable rise threadless stem, looks about 120mm Headset: DiaCompe 1 1/8 threadless Aheadset Shifters: Shimano Sora, 8spd, fully integrated Derailleurs: Shinamo Sora, triple cage front, long cage rear Crankset: Suntour cast 6061 alloy, steel triple ringset (50/39/28t) Cassette: Sram, looks like a 11 to 28t combo Bottom Bracket: Shimano cartridge square spindle Brakeset:appear to be Tektro sidepulls w/ quick release Wheelset: Low flange unsealed 32 hole hubs, laced to Alex double-wall semi deep-V aero rims. Pedals: Avenir caged platforms, toe clips installed. Some notes about the bike: If these are current pics it is in immaculate condition, retails new (in a shop) for about $550 to 600. That is standard for entry level Road bikes, especially one with Shimano components. $400 would be an ideal offer in that condition. Nishiki was a well known company back in the 80’s and early 90’s but their following is mostly with the touring crowd. They are making quite a resurgence currently in Norway/Sweden/and France and are slowly inching thier way in the US. The frames are made by Giant (who also makes all the lower end frames for Gary Fisher. Trek, Specialized, KHS, Schwinn and others), in other words it’s quality, not Wal-mart level. Good Luck with the sale! ---
