I'd like something I can change out the rear cog and chainring, with the lines of a Schwinn Typhoon.
How tall are you?
From 1962-1964 Schwinn offered their American model in a king size version, I believe it was two inches taller. Perhaps someone else knows the exact numbers. Maybe look on Craigslist to see if you can find one. They are rare and not cheap. But it's definitely in between $300.00 and $2k and it definitely looks like a Schwinn. And the bonus is, it IS a Schwinn.
