The Continental I was referencing is a 24" frame. Again I have a very long torso so I ride a bike that according to the " fit " rules is way too tall for me. The seat is almost all the way down to accomodate my short legs. In comparison to my son's Jamis,which I refer to as a nasty little bike, my Conti is huge. Still has the sweetest ride and the odd geometry of the bike coupled with my odd geometry works well for me. I do have a 26" Super Sport and it is huge. I can barely ride it. Bad buy. It just shows what fits is not always what the book says it should be. Vintage or newer, both have their place. Some retired old guys like myself have a fondness for the vintage. Besides, millions of electroforged bikes were manufactured as well as other types during the boom years giving us less expensive well made bikes to ride and to experiment with. So many parts available. So much fun to work on.
