Some help
Hello all. Im in need of some guidance. I just bought a used Cannondale Trail 6 for a steal. Has a bent crank arm on the sprocket side and deep scratches on the front forks. Problem is it quite a bit bigger than I am. I usually ride a medium. Can I do some adjustments or will it still be a bad fit? If not does anyone have a medium frame bike that they would be willing to trade?

If the stand over height is too tall there is very little you can do. Otherwise, short stem, slide saddle forward and other such mitigations. Never a good idea to buy a bike that doesn't fit for personal use.Hopefully, you got a deal good enough to sell on for what you have in it.
