I am right at your size...length wise anyway

I have a 21" Sports that I use as a basket bike for beer runs. I have a 23" Superbe that I use for longer rambles and I have a 24" Tourist that hasn't seen much use lately, waiting on some parts and time. But I did ride about 12 miles on it right after I got it, that was interesting because I had not had time to really dial the brakes in Fortunately the bell works

Speaking of circus bears...try riding a Twenty or a Compact RSW
