Philadelphia. I made a similar thread in the General forum and this one fellow found one that is around my size on craigslist:

I did go to a local bike shop a year ago in hopes of finding a good bike for use but they searched their whole inventory and nothing fit me with a few notable exceptions (but were priced way over 500).
Damnit, I just hope I find something before summer hits!
Thanks all for your advice. Each one of you offered some valuable info that I will be looking into over the next couple of weeks. Much appreciated.
AND THEN I FOUND THIS!

Tires are still thin but 36" is my leg size!
