Poprad sizing
I found a guy in my city trying to sell is 2007 Poprad for $900. It seems like a good deal, my only problem is i am not too sure how to it will size up. I am 6' tall with a 34 3/4" inseam (crotch) and the bike is a 55. Would this fit me? I am meeting with him tomorrow to give it a test ride, but i wanted to get some info beforehand.
I would be using the bike for commuting during the weekdays, and then some recreational biking on the weekends. I may end up attempting to do some minor touring with it sometime in the future as well.
Btw: I want to thank everyone who posts on this site. It has been a wonderful resource for me. I have not ridden in quite a while but I am very eager to get started once again.

I would tend to say it likely would not fit. I recently strongly considered an '07 Poprad before buying a Fuji Cross Pro. I am 6'0 with a 34.5" true inseam and the 57cm frame was perfect. I sized a 58cm for Specialized and Fuji models.
But, see how it fits you. $900 for that bike is a great deal.

Too small. If I were you I'd be looking at the 59cm. It's a bummer to pass up such a deal, but a wrong-sized bike is no bargain.
