That's a beautiful Rudge. You got a good deal too. I'm 6 foot tall and I have become accustomed to riding 21" Raleighs. I max out the stem height and adjust the seat post until I get the balance against the handlebars I like. That leaves me a bit short of leg extension, but it still works for casual riding. If you don't mind more weight on the bars, there's quite a bit of seat post to raise and even extra long seat posts. edit...There's also extra long stems that can be used.
