Some reviews for your consideration:
Great review of what makes this bike a delight to ride - bikehacks.com/soma-buena-vista-mixte-review-snappy-acceleration-and-comfortable-resilience/
Here's what SOMA says about the frame - https://www.somafab.com/archives/product/buena-vista
YouTube review of the disc version (but still the same sporty, stylish and capable frame) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XltKnGFQ5pQ
It should comfortably fit riders from 5 feet tall to about 5-6, with the current handlebars, and riders up to 5-8 or so if you switched to drop bars or something with a bit less of a swept back design.
This bike was built from the frame up with great components: Sugino 75 crank, Deore hubs on Sturdy Sun rims, tough but supple Continental Gatorskins for excellent flat protection, a comfy, Sugino 75 Crankset, SOMA Porteur front rack, Axiom rear rack, and lots of other little touches. Oh, and that wide, spring Brooks saddle is way more comfy and stylish than those over-padded modern monstrosities.
Does it look new? Hell no. Is it a bit scuffed and scratched? Yes. This little lady has been around the block, but is recently tuned up and ready to ride.
This is a quality bike, in great running condition and offered at a fair price. I am negotiable, but only for buyers willing to come out and give it a quick ride.

Happy Riding, James
