Bikes: A bunch!

This bike must have been built for someone around 6"5" as the standover height is right up there so to speak. I'm 6'3" and about a 32" inseam. I actually brought the seat up and back and tilted it more towards level than in the pic. I haven't measured the crank arms but the 165 estimate is probably darn close. As far as fit goes, I may pull the seat back a tad more but thats about it.

I thought the narrow pullback bars were a joke at first but when you're at the helm they feel perfectly natural.

As far as my knees go, honestly they feel pretty good. I will admit to not going to BMX tonight but not because of my knees. The stem is out there but not above the line.

3 to 7 miles? That makes sense as I went out the night before with it to pick up groceries as its maiden voyage and it was superb (about 5 miles round trip). Doh!

There are some pics in another thread if you search under "gait rigter" which is the shop that sold this bike in Zwolle, Netherlands. I'll try to put some more up tomorrow.
