I’ve been eyeballing this one. I’ve always loved this color scheme. Seller is down to 100 euro. I’m a bit reluctant because the frame has a lot of dents and scratches. Crankset set has been replaced with a cheap one. It should have an 8 speed hub and STC RC mech, so I could convert to 1×11.
Looking at the head set, it seems like an L or XL maybe? Thinking of converting it to a tourer or commuter. Would that work for someone of my height (175cm / 5”8). It’s a bit of a drive.

Ask them to measure seat tube (center of the bottom bracket to the top (or near the top) of the seatpost clamp. This is definitely bigger than 18”, I had this frame in size 18” which is probably your size, and it looked smaller. If it’s 20” you might be able to stretch onto it… but I definitely wouldn’t go for any bigger than that.
It’s only worth €100 as a rideable bike. It’s too big for you. Are people 182cm and taller considered giants in your land?
Those are 26‘‘ wheels, which is 55,9cm rim to rim, with a good side picture like this, you can use that wheel as a rough measurement and make a pretty good estimate
Looks like a 21” frame, which is a 54cm seat tube and 58cm top tube, plus that looks like a very long 120mm stem. You could fit onto it but the reach will be uncomfortably long
It’s probably too big for you.
But why would you want to convert it to 1x? It’s got a great drivetrain from the factory.
6’6” here. I’d kill for a bike that actually fits.
