Bought this Beauty Today for 400 and seemed fair. I want to use it as a commuter in the Winter, but iam afraid it could be to small for me 6,2 (188cm); inner leg 88-90cm. The Frame is 18,5 (47cm). Any Tipps for making it fit nicer? 🙂
My current commuter is the Single Speed in the back wich has a 58cm Frame that fits pretty good.

That’s way too small, I’m the same height as you and ride a 21.5 inch vintage mtb. Nothing to do that won’t involve a lot of time and money and regret. Buy one that fits you next time.
Sorry to say you’re gonna have to sell this one and find something that fits. I’m your height and 58 cm works best for me and it seems to for you as well. My vintage mtb is 20.5” and that feels a little small.
What’s that stem sorry, it’s a beauty
If you’re really attached to the bike, a longer stem would give you a bit more room, but it is going to change the way it handles.
You’d likely need new cables to suit too, so a bit of a money pit.
Good luck getting something vintage at 20″. I swear they’re like hens teeth. It’s always 18″ and 19″s that come up.
That frame is not 18’. Post a picture of the serial number and I can tell you what size the frame is.
Last ditch effort is bmx stem and bars which adds weight and you might not have enough cable to play with to compensate for the added rise. I mean I would do it probably
