Anyone looking to trade a 56cm Hillborne or Saluki for a 58cm Saluki

[Peter M]

After a few hundred miles I have determined that my saluki is just a hair too big. I have a freakish body at 5'11" with a 82cm PBH, and yes I have measured it 10 times. I wear 31 inseam pants.  The 58cm saluki just gives me no standover room whatsoever even though it is really comfortable I am looking to do a bit more on and off road adventures and need some kind of buffer for the old crotchal area. Bike is in nice shape but unlike the guy that sold it to me I will give full disclosure, it has a small ding in the downtube and some paint loss behind the bb lug that i touched up as well as i could, with the crankset on you cant see it and the ding is pretty much invisible but if you feel the tube it is there.  Again looking for a 56cm Hilsen or Saluki, if they are in better shape than mine i can give you money to compensate for the difference. If someone has a frame to sell rather than to trade i would be open for that as well. Here is a link to my flikr page when I first buit up the bike. http://www.flickr.com/photos/67889635@N06/ 

Shoot me any offers or anything, I am pretty flexible. Thanks.

Not in my size range, but just wanted to clarify? Are you looking for a 56 cm Hillborne or 56 Hilsen? A 52 cm Hillborne should fit similar to a 56 cm Hilsen. (And either would be really nice.)

Looking for a 56cm Hilsen or a 52cm hillborne, both are beautiful bikes although at my generous weight the Hllborne might be better. Do you know anyone looking to unload a 52cm Hillborne? Doesnt seem to be alot of people wanting to trade thier hilsens. I might have to just sell the saluki and get a hillborne if no one wants to trade up.

Peter,
I have the exact same height and PBH and I ride a 56cm Hillborne and love it.  I didn't try a 52 cm.  You might want to try both....

Hey, I resemble that "freakish body" remark!
