looking for some opinions or thoughts on if this might be a good choice for me:)
context: I live in the city and have started biking to work, school, etc rather than having to rely on public transport, plus the added movement is great for my adhd brain. I bought a schwinn city bike from fb that I’ve been using, but have figured out it is just too big for me. The girl who had it was about my size so I assumed it would be fine. the seat is already on the lowest height & the drop between the handlebars is pretty steep so its hard to get leverage on inclines. overall it’s just felt abnormally awkward & clunky to use/move around. I assumed I just needed to get adjusted to it, but after a bit it’s become obvious that I’m not the problem & it shouldn’t feel this uncomfy. I mean technically it is useable but def not ideal or the most functional.
I am 5’1” on a good day & have a tad more leg than torso ratio I think
I found a 2010 Fuji absolute 3.0 step through bike with a 17in seat tube(I think that’s what it was referring to?) there’s no stated issues with it, they’re just selling b/c they got an e-bike. it’s priced at $180 but I could potentially negotiate down a bit. I don’t need anything fancy, just something of decent enough quality that it can last with routine care & as needed maintenance.
