Bike Question

Always Be Closing

Long story short guys -

Know nothing about bikes, however I'm in training, my sister bought this about 4 months ago.

It's brand new, plastic still on parts. She doesn't want it and says I can have it

I'm a 6'2 male, 33.

Will I get away with cycling it?

Thanks

No.

Sell it and buy a bike that fits correctly.

I sat on it and it's plenty big enough

You see the geezers flying around on the little Dublin bikes

For short trips here and there you can get away with that, much like Dublin bikes. OP mentioned training, where a bike that's much too small might leave him bent out of shape over time. In my experience, putting on a longer stem and raised saddle full back will let you get away with one size too small, but personally I wouldn't be going much lower than that. That said, there is a lad that does the WW200 on a Dublin bike, but wouldn't be my idea of fun.

Would you "train" on a Dublin Bike?

it's possible for you...a 6'3" male to ride very small bike, but not recommended..
