From the ad:
Up for bid is a used 62cm EAI Bare Knuckle Boxer Frame with a brand new Chris King Headset. The frame has stickers on it and a little bit of surface rust but other than that is in great condition. The fork does have a dent in it, but nothing to gnarly. This is a great frame and I'm sad to part with it but I don't really have any use for it anymore and it's just collecting dust. The headset has only been used twice, and is kind of a unique color. Not quite Mango but also not Gold. All sales final, no returns.
Did you get a good deal? Absolutely not.
I wouldn't have paid $380 ($335 + $45 shipping) for that frame. Dented fork, scratched frame with surface rust. Stickered to death. How the hell is the headset "brand new" if it's been installed twice? "Great condition", my ass.
Does it fit you? Absolutely not.
You say that you are 6'2" and I'm
assuming of normal proportions. If so, then you should ride a 58 or 59cm bike. 60cm tops.
THIS is why people should ask BEFORE buying.
