Just re-read it... She'll post it! Anyone know how much that might be? And is 49cm too small if I ride a 52cm?

Jo - it's probably the top tube (51cm) you want to worry about rather than the seat post. As a comparison, the top tube is 1cm shorter than my track bike and the seat tube is the same size.

I definitely won't bid not least because I'll be in a meeting for a few hours around the time it finishes. However if someone does bid and wins, happy to chip on or work out something. I am interested in it as a fixie rather than a track bike (it doesn't appear to be drilled, slight problem to resolve).

It's going to be a pain to get it from Mt Gambier. I might have work colleagues who could pick it up but I'll have to find them first.

I'm considering it as a track bike Eleri. I completely misread the description, it is a 51cm so it's a good size for me I think. Trying to work out courier costs now so will update when I've found it out. The price is holding steady on eBay...

We're looking at about $250 to courier unless anyone knows a cheaper/easier way to do it? Mt. Gambier is about 4 hours from Adelaide.

It will only cost you $200 to fly to Adelaide and get it yourself. Put some brakes on it and ride it to the Barossa and drink some wine while you're there... That sounds like the ideal solution!! :)

probably went for too much money in the end. That white/gold one I bought was $400 and about the same size. Plus added advantage of not being in Mt Gambier!

It's a beautiful bike. I know the seller - he's a trustworthy guy, if anyone is looking at it.

Yeah I noticed that, but 20 in iches converts to 50.8cms according to the online calculator which given that the seat tube has a slight bit of elevation above the top tube, the top tube could possibly be 48-50cms.

I might be wrong, but the more I learn about ebay bike buying; the less the seller understands about bike the greater the value $$ that can be found with some guestamation.
