Default Good bike

I know you guys are going to think I'm smokin crack again. I'm looking for a nicely priced racing bike or touring bike. I'm a short 5'7" tall dude but in my past life I did some racing and such and want to get back into it. Running kills my knees any more. Brand: Fuji, Cannondale, Trek or similar quality. I know their are hundreds of bikes sitting in garages out there and have been for years and rebuilding or refurbishing one would be fun.

I'm looking for a tube length of maybe 20-21" to fit my tallness.

I am not interested in a mountain bike.

Would love to hear from anyone who has a similar bike sitting around.

Ken

Too bad you need a 21" bike. I have a nice 26" Specialized road bike and a nice Cannondale frame 26" as well.

Durn! my inseam is like 30-31 inches and ya know you just can't abuse the "jewels". I'd love either bike or frame. That's just what I'm looking for. Thanks anyway.

Ken
