39 y/o, 6'2, 220. Haven't ridden a bike since I was a teen probably, but just taught 3 of my kids to ride and need something to chase them on. Kids are young (3-7), but I'd like a decent bike for doing some light trails etc. The 7 y/o is on a used Nishiki Pueblo and already wanting to take it off the streets/sidewalk.
The only provided details for this bike is that they think they purchased it around 2015 for about $800. It's supposedly in "Good Condition" and was stored inside. 19" is marked on the frame.
Questions:
- Would I reasonably be able to ride it? I've heard a too small bike is way better than too big, and it's been a hot minute since I was on a bike, so I feel like that should be fine, but you're the experts.
- What is exactly is it? I've read about rockhoppers and they seem nice, anything major to look out for?
- What would you pay for it? It's listed at $150, which is more than I'd ideally like to spend to just ride around supervising the kids, but if it's really a great deal I'd consider it.

I think it’s 2 to 3 sizes too small.. 1 size too small is better than one size too big, but two or three is not going to work I feel
