Trade 55cm ish frame

So I have this old Centurion frame -and some of the old nasty parts- that I was going to paint and clean up, but I just put some tires (tried 700's and 26's) on it and it is apparently too tall for me. It's something between 53-56.
I'm willing to trade it for a smaller frame (between 42-48cm) or some parts or something. I know it's not that valuable, but you could probably use it to fix up or make a tall bike or whatnot. If no one ends up wanting it or offering something I could use, then I'll end up giving it away to someone or donating it to a co-op.

This bike is in working condition right? Do you have a photo of it?

If by working condition you mean no dents, cracks, etc, then yes. If you mean working condition by the great quality of the paint job, the great pedals, rims, etc, nope it's not. I'm uploading pictures right now...
The parts I have that I took off because I thought I was gonna fix it:
Crank, pedal, seat + post, rims + tires, broken brake levers.
Parts still on it:
Headset, crank, pedal, bottom bracket.

What were you gonna do, ride it with fifteen-inch platform shoes on?

Absolutely.
Haha, nah. I didn't realize the frame was so big for some reason. It never really had the tires on it, so I never stood over it until now.

Throw it up on craigslist chynna, 56cm is the most popular men's frame, and a road frame with a crank and BB should get you some decent $.

I'm sorry! My regular lens broke, so I only have that fisheye. Umm, lemme find a camera and take more.
Anyway, if no one wants this by later on, I might just bring it with me to the artcycle so I can leave it at the kitchen (if they're open?)

A couple of people will be around the Kitchen at least, I'm not sure if we'll be totally open for regular business. But there'll definitely be someone around to take the bike.

I hope someone at the kitchen will put that to good use!
