Just eyeball guesses. Both bikes are
WAY better than that Huffy
Many people may not know how to measure a bike size. A simpler number to ask for might be "standover height" .... the distance from the top tube to the ground. They can grab a tape measure or yardstick and easily measure that. You want a number that gives you an inch or 2 clearance in the crotch when standing over the bike..
With any used bike like these, expect to need tubes, tires and chain. Maybe you won't, but factor that in to the price if the tires look worn or chain is rusty.
