I purchased the bike as a means to shed my winter coat and nothing more. I'm a bit shy of 5'10, 220lbs(hence the bike), and have a 30" inseam. I have about a 1" space between the top tube and my stuff. Overall the bike fits me quite well, couldn't imagine any better. I took the advice of others and replaced the rim tape with Zefal (cloth) before I went riding. After the first 10 mi ride I replaced the seat as my sit bones were a bit tender. Really the only gripe I have (since I knew what I was buying) is the front tire has a flat spot, apprently from resting nearly deflated on the ground/bottom of the box for too long. I've put about 50 miles on the bike(bumpy, rut filled, backroads), and have yet to encounter the first problem. For my intended use, I am well pleased with the bike.Get more detail about Schwinn Prelude Men's Road Bike (700c Wheels).
