Or maybe you have short legs. This is really difficult to diagnose knowing nothing about you, or the bike.
Im female. 5'4. I dont know my leg length. I dont know much about the bike since i just got it. Its a 3 speed Huffy Sun Country made possibly in the 70s ( according to posters here). It does have the sloped top tube. If i had to guess, its probably 26in, but thats a guess.

I just wanted a bike that was going to last and i knew someone took care of it, not some off the shelf thing.
