If you are buying it just for the frame and fork at a very low price, then your spouse might have a nice bike to ride when you get it built out with newer components and a proper saddle and bars.
yeah, just looking to get some opinions on the size. Someone mentioned in the other thread that Bridgestone uses CM not inches for their sizing so not sure where this person is getting the size. According to charts 17" should be a medium to large bike, this clearly is not. Looking at the frame compared to the 26" wheels. According to Bridgestone catalog I think it's either a 42, 46 or at most a 50.
And yeah, would definitely change out the saddle and bars.
