Granted, I do have a preferred distance from seat to pedal, but everything else is negotiable. As long as I've got the right extension on my legs, I'm good to go. I'm about 5'8" and almost 62 yrs, so I'm no young sprout. Am I the only one like this, or are there others who aren't fussy about bike size?
Have you come over to the Classic and Vintage forum here? There's a bunch of us that love, refurb and collect these old gems....and more importantly, ride them.
