Suggestion please !!!

[Sanjeev Kumar]

I am 25 years old Male with 6 feet height. I am looking for a stylish
bicycle for fun. I am just going to drive it 2-3 miles a week. Can
someone let me know the 'size' which I should be buying as I am getting
a lot of deals online but not sure which one to go for.

TIA,
San

I have a 26" (well.. the one site says the bike I have is 27") Raleigh
Sprite. I am 6'2" and I have no problems on it.

Check out craigs list in your area for a good deal on used quality
bikes... I was amazed by how many I found for cheap.

26" frame, or 26" wheels? A 26" frame is BIG!

To the coffee shop? Ask the good folk in rec.bicycles.racing.

Pffffttt! What?!? This sounds like a job for Fabrizzio! I don't
think he frequents rb.tech though.

It's about what I need, and damn hard to find. I'm now on a 62 cm (which
is about 25" if my calculations don't desert me) but it's a little
cramped.

Check out cruisers from companies like Electra. Get a large and the
shop cab tweak it for you. They're pretty cheap too, and have tons of
style points.
