Hi all, thanks for reading my Uber nooby newb post. I'm wanting to put together a nice bicycle for myself after being away from riding for many years. I'll use the bike for around town errands, and light commuting. I don't own a car, so for now it will be my primary transportation. I plan to run straight bars, bigger tires, with fenders, a basket, etc. Finding a high-quality vintage frame I can put some love into is the goal. I might even repaint it if needed to achieve classic/elegant style I want.

My main challenge is I have a really long torso. I'm 6'4" but inseam is 33" or so. So on frames I can stand over I end up feeling like I'm way over the front of the bike. On bigger frames where I feel more entered on the bike, the standover is dangerously uncomfortable lol.

Any advice out there? Any particular makers or models I should look for? Or strategy/website for finding one? I live in Portland Oregon, so there seem to be a lot bikes around. Thanks in advance for any help!
