R600?

[Jon K.]

Let me just be honest, I know nothing about road bikes, just started riding my new (cheap) gravel bike. You stated that it has pricey Campy parts? Which parts? Also, I'm 6' tall, is this bike too small for me? Would I be better off selling this bike and find another bike for myself? The reason I like this bike is because it's so light.

From the codes on the bottom bracket shell and the lack of space between top tube and down tube at the head tube junction, I'm guessing it's a 52cm frame, which means it isn't a compact R700.

Whether it's too small for you depends on your inseam and what shoes you'll be wearing. I am about 5' 10" with short legs - 30-31" inseam - and a longer torso, and the 56cm I am riding is probably a size too large. That said, the longer top tube on the 56 means I don't need to run such a ridiculously long stem extension (it was 110 or so, now down to 100 with the new bars and stem).

The sidepull brakes and brifters (brake/shift levers combined) are Campy, as are the derailleurs, crankset and headset. They're not new, of course, but probably date from the mid to late 1990s/early 2000. If the gear cassette at the rear is an 8-speed, it's probably late 1990s.
