bike frame sizes.... - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

hi,

I recently bought an inexpensive bike (a schwinn 26" mens sidewinder),
only to find that the frame is really small for my long legs (what
size is the frame?). I went to a bike shop and tested some other
bikes to find that a 22-inch frame is the size that I need, but all
the bikes there are all too expensive for what I would ever want or
even need.

My question: considering that I don't know anything about bikes, could
people tell me which bike (or bikes) I could get that's relatively
inexpensive (<$200 US) with a 21- or 22-inch frame?

I appreciate it,
Phillip
