First "real" bike
Thanks for the help on my previous thread
I found another bike that I'm strongly considering buying
https://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...923142341.html
I'm 5'11 and I'm worried that the bike might be too small or if it's even good for its value
I can get it for 350, let me know what you think

Much better bike, TOTALLY TOO SMALL. Google bike sizing, and you will no longer consider a 53cm frame size.
I am 5-11, with super short legs, and I ride a 56 to 57cm. I sell a lot of 58 to 60cm bikes to people 5-11. Had a guy 5-11 with long legs, and he bought a 63cm.

I'm only 5'8" and ride a 23"/58cm bike. Technically, a 56cm would be better, but that was not an option back then.
You should be looking at 58cm as a minimum!
