I'm deciding whether to drive the 35 miles to take a closer look at this bike:
http://humboldt.craigslist.org/bik/715725918.html
The bike is for my wife (age 52, good shape), who's inseam measures 33 inches.
The seller says the frame is 18". From the photo, I calculate that the seat is 29.6 inches from the bottom bracket.
I want a bike for her that is comfortable, and will work on trips up to 20 miles.
Questions: does the size seem about right?
Would you call this a hybrid, mountain bike, urban bike, what?
Is it worth a trip?
Thanks!
