Holy buckets that's a tall bike!

Schwinn Voyageur 11.8(1982) Double-Butted 4130 Frame 27x 1 1/4 Tires/Tubes Made in Chicago Quickrealase Rims Shimano Altus LT Shifters Shimano Altus LT Derailleurs Sugino Super Maxy Crank Dia-Compe Brakes Dia-Compe Brake Levels Road Champion Handle Bars New Cables Grease-up S.N. 2F04829
26 inch Frame Size as measured along seat tube

So tall it makes the crank look like something on a clown bike.

Has coddling tendencies.
If some dude passed me on that bike, I'd ride over into oncoming traffic.

Thats not that big. I could easily ride it, although I would have to raise the seat a little. Even my Noah has a 35" stand over height

Those shifters sure are a long way away!!! I am 6' 7" tall and envy your ride. I just ordered a 63cm CAAD9 5. Some day I will be proud to ride a custom.

I know I have short legs for my height, but telling me you wear the same length pants makes me feel worse.

My favorite is when a bike this size is on craigslist and they don't even list the size of it.
