Height/Weight...Size Question

[Rambler]

Would Six Foot 2", 160 lbs fit well with a "26 inch 1972 Schwinn Speedster, curved top tube?" S-5 rims.
Running blind, but looks like a good fit. No other dimensions available.

Thank you!

Got me thinking, this ride just for mellow cruises to the pub, post office and store etc. Check this out for sizing...

The seat height on ZOOT is 28"

This Huffy Good Vibrations is now a Shimano shifted Positron 5 speed that was once a single speed bike.(notice the coaster brake bracket wear/rust on the left side)

Thanks Rat, 28" is way too small for me. See ya 'neath that giant Exxon sign 8)

The Rangers had a homecoming in Harlem late last night
And the MagicRat drove his sleek machine over the Jersey state line
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants
Together they take a stab at romance and disappear down Flamingo Lane...

keep in mind, that's the frame size, seat tube height. A 24" frame would be like my Varsity.

The camel back frame is maybe 19" w/26" rims. I have this one, that'll someday become a 26" Manta Ray:

I'm 6'5", so I'll be looking for a Loooong seatpost!!! :mrgreen: -Adam
