+ I know some are 22inches, and I was wondering if it is okay for me to ride
I am supposed to ride 21"/54cm
Ok, the first Schwinn, Schwinn Super Le Tour 12.2 - $275 (Decatur), is probably the nicest out of that batch.

You won't find a really expensive bicycle for $200... or you won't without a lot of looking, and some really good luck. But that isn't a bad bike for your price range.

The red & black bike would be ok, just 5-10 pounds heavier, and a little clunkier. Still fine for its niche.

Like this one just posted up in the classifieds: http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vi...a-19-50cm.html
I was just wondering if there were any. I realized I will get a vintage bike that is in real nice shape. I am just looking for budget vintage bike. Thanks for the link though
Oh, SWEET BICYCLE!!!!

30 years ago... 40 years ago?
Everyone's dream bicycle was outfitted with all Campagnolo Nuovo Record components.

Of course, that was few decades ago. You'd do well changing to clincher wheels/tires for general use.

But, it would still be a nice bike.
