That's the one 20" frame I've seen that might actually fit me (with a layback seatpost added of course)  :)

You could always cut off the tube at a reasonable height if you're going to use it as a rider, maybe you could even fix the seat straight onto the tube?
I remember FreeAgents in the mid 80's were exotic bikes at the time, is this a later mass-produced one?

if the decals are correct then its a early one
think they changed to square type font around 89 ?

should have a serial stamped into rear drops
reading like  mmyy build number

0987014 would be sept 87 build 14 etc

def don't bin it

that could mean its a khs built model

he was factory free agent and knows his beans
