Hi! I am living in Tokyo since the past month and will stay for one year, so I decided I want to buy a bike for commuting and take some weekend rides.. this sleek asphalt is asking for it!
I want a minivelo because here it's quite easy to get one by a few bucks and always felt curiosity for them.
As I will only stay one year and I already have my expensive bikes at my homeland, I don´t want to spend too much here for something I can't bring home.
But my problem is about sizes. I am not super tall, 176cm, but here people for some reason like riding the bikes with the saddle absurdly low... so sizes don't seem to be a problem.
I was expecting to buy this:

It´s a copy of the bruno mixte 20, but it looks quite good for the price, components are shit but better than what you can get in similar price minivelos.
The problem is that there are no sizes for this model ( nor any other cheap one )
Do you guys think I can ride it comfortably?
I am reading 430cm as a measure which I don`t know what it is, but I guess is a frame measure.
I know I can put a longer seat post and higher steam, but maybe it keeps being too small?
Thanks!
