Looks to small for a person 6,1. Never buy a frame the wrong size. From the looks of it you are buying a frame to restore, not a complete bike.

$200 is far to much for a tired old frame.


I read a post last summer. I guy was asking if $300 was to much for a 95 hardrock. I paid $29 for a 95 hard rock at the Goodwill store shortly after reading the $300 question. Frame was in good enough shape. I was able to ride it home. I had to replace everything.


Ask yourself a couple of questions.

Can you do all the work yourself? Replace every part and build new wheels?

Do you have a lot of old parts laying around?


If you need to order new parts and pay a mechanic to install them. Just buy a new bike. They will be on sale a couple of weeks after christmas.


Example:

$3, for bearings, clean and grease the hub yourself. Straighten the wheel.

$133, pay a mechanic to straighten the wheel and rebuild the hub.
