A friend was selling his bike for an attractive price, and on impulse, I bought it.
It is a 59cm frame "volpe."
I am 5'6" with a 31" inseam and by rights should be in like a 54cm bike.
With the seat moved forward and lowered all the way, it is not uncomfortable. It doesn't seem too long, and, I can get both feet comfortably on the ground (again, with the seat ALL the way at the bottom).
Is this, then, a fine fit and I should feel free to go ahead and ride it?
Or will I look silly in this oversize bike, and should resell it/ trade it for another....
