Guy wants $35 for it, but I need at least a 60cm ideally

Schwinns were generally measured in inches, center to top, with sizes often available in 2" increments (although sometimes 1", depending on the model, etc). My guess is 25" for that one, so that would be around 63cm. The head tube is noticeably longer than on my 23" '80's Schwinn. And I've seen some 27" Schwinns, and they're noticeably bigger than that.

I was feeling the same way. the listing says 18" but it looks WAY too big for 18". I have another 63cm traveler and it looks to be about the same size as this.

My first impression was at least 62cm.
