Bought the bike in January 2015 from Track & Trail. I have ridden for about 422 kms. its a 2014 model
frame size: 50cm, Small, will probably fit for people who are 5ft 4 to 5.5
bought it for 40,000/- rs, I have the original bill with me
I have changed the stem from 110mm to 3T 60mm (Spent another 4000/- rs there), I have also added a stem raiser (Spent 2800/- rs).
reason for selling: I bought a wrong frame size...I will need 47 or 48cm ( I am 5ft 2 & half in)
LBS are selling it for 40,000 after discount may even sell it for little low.
my price is 34,500/- (negotiable)
The bike is in mint condition

regards

You should first check if there are road bikes of 47 or 48 cm.
You have spent a lot to adjust things and you are selling it at so much loss. You can try a few other options - buy a zero offset seat post and 160mm or 165mm crank arms. That should place you favorably well in terms of seat position. Handle bar looks a bit too high too, but that should be good for endurance.
BTW, I ride btwin 54 cm and I'm 5'5.5" (just 3 inches taller than you, but riding 2 cm larger bike). It is big for me of course. If I could change it, I would love a 52 cm or even try a 50 cm. But it is livable with certain changes in settings.
If you do get buyers and if you can get the right size, then, of course, you go ahead. Else, you might want to rethink.

I too agree with Opendro.....
I am 5 feet..... the road bike which i was using was 57 cms (used it for more than 3 years, done more than 13,000 on it).
If you promise me a cup of coffee ( not even at CCD.....Hatti kappi....hehehe) in 30 minutes will teach you how to and what to do improve your flexibility and you can ride the same bike (if you want to).

Anil, both of us are going to get flogged for this extreme advice. 57 cm is still unimaginable for you. Did you use a high heel? Or did you cut the seat post to a shorter length? LOL
Having said that, I repeat, get the right size if it is available in the market and/or if you get a buyer for your current bike without too much loss.

Absolutely Opendro....hehehe....
when i bought the bicycle i have to rode it for 7 kms to reach, entire distance i rode it on the top tube, because i could not reach the pedal from the saddle.
Later i cut the saddle post to the extent required, in spite of that many a times i have rented that bike to lot of guys who are of 6 feet height and they have used it.

Opendro and Anil,
Thank you so much for those encouraging words and advice. I have been completely demotivated as a result of getting a big frame because of my impulsiveness, and had not ridden cycle for almost 2 months now.
And after what u guys have said here I am some how regaining hope.
(Will try to see if I can secure a zero fit seat post and crank arm)
@anil, It will be a great pleasure to meet u and learn and my treat at CCD for sure....:) (Opendro, it will be a pleasure to meet u too)
Treat is on my side...:)
Pls do let me know when can catch up...
Regards
Subash
