I am 5'10" 250 and heres my BFK taken a few years ago, just have to put the seat post up and ape hangers make it all good.

yup, im 6 ft, raise the seat up and put the bars where you like them, they are fun little bikes but dont expect to do anything more than 10 miles without complaining about it. but they are great little neighborhood cruisers. Mainly use mine for trips to the post office or to make a soda run.

Or you can get you a 24" or 26" Schwinn Typhoon which looks just like a big Stingray. Put a banana set on it and some ape hangers and your good to go.
