I took in another stray

I was at an estate sale of sorts and the guy said are you sure there isn't anything else besides that iron you bought for $1.34/ I told him the bikes looked interesting and he said take what you want, they're free. UGH, wrong words to the wrong person! I limited myself to a 17" Green Huffy Grand Tour 21 speed MTB. I pumped up the tires and adjusted the brakes. All gears shift fine, even though the shifters appear to be simple thumb shifters. The cables aren't rusted at all so this bike was never left out in the rain. Not sure what to do with it, it's too small for me. I wonder just how old it is and what it sold for new.

I mean, I would've chosen a bike that fit.
