Contemplated buying it, but could find any details online and the ad only said orange road bike, no size or anything. At $120 was probably a fair price. No detail, no idea of size, difficult to arrange pickup meant I held off.
Flippers at work: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cameron- ... 1041238016 now it's $325 24hrs later.
There is a good chance the frame is cracked anyway. Looks like they had fixed the seatpost issue, but the headtube is the same old poor design & prone to cracking from the top & bottom & past the weld on either side.

700c Shogun Ground Breaker running Deore LX. Switch the flat bars with drop bars and it becomes a cheap cyclocross bike or commuter.

Thanks, FWIW, this is mine. It really is as good as I've written up, and I was meticulous in the rebuild and setup. I'm pretty fussy...

Probably not your size, but an early '80s Alan CX frame
Same sized Colnago frame
A slightly bigger Concorde frame
