Unknown Mystery Schwinn...Thoughts?
Ok This is another one. It's a 4130 Schwinn. Is it worth $50 assuming rideable? This might be too tall for me since I'm 5'10 but I prefer 20 inch hybrids so maybe not....

That is a very long headtube. I doubt it's your size.

five ten is an average height. You will not have any problem finding vintage bikes that fit.

I'm a statuesque 5'11" and I never even consider that, a 59/60 or 23" is the biggest I go
If the tires hold air and everyting works it is probably a good deal but too big

I'm guessing that's at least a 62cm frame.
I'm a hair under 5'11" and rode a 62cm frame for a while. The seatpost was lowered all the way and the stem was very short reach. It never felt right.
Plus, dismounting a bike with negative standover height is challenging under the best of circumstances.
