Four years ago, I rescued that bicycle minutes before the sanitation truck would have crushed it. I saved it because it had an unusually large frame. It is 27 inches from the crank to the base of the seat post. I cost me $350 in parts to restore it. When I first brought into the local bike shop, the owner stared at the bike and then immediately took a tape measure to it.
You ride high on this bike. It gets a lot of comments in the bike tours I do. Many have never seen a bike this tall. It is heavy, but it is very stable.
