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 rather tacky, you just joined and while offering limited information for the OP you mention that your selling your bike. There is a place on this forum for selling please advertise your bike there not in regular threads.

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.
