This Bike or That Bike?
I'm currently on a Diamondback Edgewood 07 and I really wanted an older vintage race/tour bike and there are two bikes I'm currently looking at. One is a:
Fuji Tivoli and that's about all the specs I have on it. I'm really unable to find some good information about it online. Also, he states it's 21", I'm 6'0" close to 6'1" is this going to be too small of a frame?
The other is a Hoffman "Lightweight Touring Bike." Here's the link on it:

My commute is about 2-3 miles long, with medium grade inclines. Any information or preference you have on either of these bikes would be awesome!

The Hoffman has retro cool going for it, but any Fuji is a good bike and will kick that Hoffman (read Huffy)'s fat green buttski. Will a 21" frame fit you? Possibly. Raise the seat, put on a longer stem, you might be fine. I'm 5'10" (honest!) and ride a 23" frame Fuji. I love it. You can ask the Classic & Vintage folks about those bikes, too.
