That bike looks great! I was kind of hoping for a mixte frame... but I will certainly consider this one, or ones like it on my search. Haven't heard of columbus tubing. Thank you so much for the heads up!

sound advice from
oddjob2...this is paramount.
"my 2 cents: "city bike" = straight bars"
good suggestion from
rumrun6...hybrids are perfect for riding in traffic.
Here is a Schwinn touring bike converted to upright bars:

Schwinn Passage 15-speed,
21" frame bike,
Columbus Tubing Frame,
full tune-up for $200
This might be worth the drive out to Skokie
if it fits you.
This 21in frame would have a 31in standover height.
I'm a 5'7" male with short legs (30" inseam) and I ride a 21" Schwinn Voyageur.
