I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam (pants length, i.e.), and I ride a 61cm 1997 Bianchi Campione D'Italia (which, BTW, I'll be selling as soon as it's out of the shop where it's getting tuned and detailed). Nishiki's an excellent vintage bike. A buddy purchased a new brown one in 1972 and loved it for years. I bought a yellow Peugeot at the same time. Enjoy your new Nishiki.

That's a rather tacky welcome, Goddess. I "offered" that I was his height and ride a 61cm, which is a thread topic. I offered an experience-based opinion on his Nishiki. I only added parenthetically that I was selling the bike, hardly advertising it. I am not likely to advertise it here, but thanks for your idea and this addition to your impressive post count.
