Hi everyone. I've just stumbled upon this frameset. and it made me wonder if it's a good idea to buy it. It's a Giant Propel model from around 2020, size XS. I'm 165cm so this would be a good fitting frame. It obviously has some asteriks described in the listing, hence the price, but I have a repaired MTB frame that holds up after a lot of abuse so the repair doesn't really concern me.
I currently have a chinese frame in Size Small, pictures attached too, and while it's been way better than my previous bikes in terms of fit and comfort, I still feel the bike is a bit too long. The seatpost has a lot of setback and my cockpit is relatively short, 360mm bars x 70mm stem. I race with the bike and it's kind of weird being almost the only one with a relatively short stem in the pack lol.
In this frame is roughly the same but a lot more forward, and in theory should allow me to have a better position on the bike, i.e longer stem for better handling and whatnot. Do you guys think it's a good idea?

Repaired frame gives me pause. Repaired by who? Do they stand by the work?
No
875 for a previous gen propel frame is TAX even before accounting for the repair.
I’d pass.
