Here's my 27"Raleigh Marathon single speed. Like FORDVTPARTS, I just got this off of CL because of the size. I stripped off all the components which were in bad condition, and threw on a bunch of stuff i had lying around. This has been my commuter for the last few months:

And here's my 65/66cm Nobilette that I found on eBay and built up. I was able to transfer many of the parts from my 61cm Lemond (Way too small!) that a bike shop had sold me before I knew better.

And here's a bike that I don't ride or have built up anymore, but it's a 27" Panasonic Sport Deluxe from BikesNotBombs. I remember buying it in the dead of winter, and was just so excited to know that there were bikes my size. This is what got me into fixing up bikes. And looking at it again, I'm thinking maybe I'll build it up again!
