Benefit from the poor photos. Schwinn, at least, looks pretty clean.

Nice smooth painted concrete floor and standing seam steel wall for sale. Oh, and there's a just-old-enough-to-be-c&v titanium tandem included, if you squint.

I'm always curious about bikes like the Softride a few posts above. It appears there is quite a bit fore and aft adjustment available. But how was saddle height adjusted? Different offset tubes?

This is THE DEAL of 2022. BFer please go swoop this.
For some reason, and don't ask me why, I am not fond of this "timebehindbars" seller on eBay (sorry in advance if this is someone here or someone we know). They've been around forever and seem to have no interest in making a sale, just listing items that sit for an eternity because they're a bit too pricey.

Photos with different configurations means that hopefully they saved the original handlebars and brake levers and it's not stuck in goofball cruiser mode.

I would imagine it's a royal pain to get the saddle where you want it, because changing either the fore-aft setback or the up-down beam angle also changes the other factor as well. And then there's the pre-load/sag that you have to account for, that you can't really know until you sit on it...

I will say that I did find mine to be a fast as hell ride that is super comfy. The first 1/2 mile to mile you may feel like you are bouncing a lot but once you get your spin smoothed out these bikes are rockets. Mine is the heaviest of my 20 some odd steel bikes with one of the heaviest wheelsets. Despite that it also posted my fastest ride of the year in 2021 and did it easily and in total comfort. I got mine on a whim just to see what they were about. Fully intended to ride it for a year and then sell it. Not now, it's a keeper!
As it's currently being ridden.

Vintage Schwinn Varsity Coppertone road bike - $135 (Inver Grove Hts)
Original except saddle. Tires were replaced once. Hasn't been ridden in forever Serial # on frame denotes 1961. However, I've always thought that the Sprint crank was 1966-1967 only. So I'm not 100% sure of year. This bike has never been cleaned in it's life. All mechanicals seem to "work" except headlight. I'll list this for about a week. If it doesn't sell, I'm diving into the cleanup. Seems to measure 21.5" stand-over is a little more than 31.5". I haven't ridden this, but you're welcome to take it for a ride....$135 cash.

Interesting how it is to say a bike is "suitable for someone XX tall". The variations of the human body are many. I'm 6'1.5" and I prefer a 63cm and find a 64 just too big, yet Merziac is an inch shorter and he's happy with a 64cm. Just relying on seat tube length and ignoring top tubes can create issues but sellers never seem to list top tubes (or crank length) so I guess it's always always best to test drive.
