Ok, so it may not be vintage or classic, but certainly no one at all would respond in some of the other forums...so,
1) Does pic 1 look like a 23" or 25" frame? I'm thinking 25" though it's listed at 23" (58-59cm).
2) Would you buy it for components/resale if it's in barely used condition (stored for 15+ years) for $100 if it doesn't fit you (I'm looking for the 23", but tempted just 'cause).
3) Pic 2 provides another angle of a simlar (much smaller) bike - any further info out there on components/geometry? I've been to Findley's Schwinn catalogs and looked at the '91...History? Quality? Seems like with '92 being the end of the line for Schwinn it's kind of a dead end for info.
4) Any other thoughts, comments, criticisms? It was going to be a fixed gear for my wife (yes, she's a giant:)...but it's too small for me even at 25":))
