6'8" in bare feet if I'm feeling frisky 7foot in stilettos lmao ( never found a pair big enough for my size 15 feet)

I set it that height for test fit I wouldn't be riding at that height, but thanks for heads up. Unless I get a longer seat tube.

And today I did........ Find and purchase a 1998 Marin Nail Tail a younger sister for my reaquired 1990 Marin Bear Valley.( Sold it 2 year ago, bought back 4 months ago, same £ much worse condition) They now are considerably younger sisters to my 64cm Canyon Roadlite AF . Strip down of Nail Tail...

Spotted this in a local FB post from a house clearance business. 19" frame. Few scrapes and some decals gone, but initial strip down is very promising. Forks look like they've never been off as original grease still present.

Thanks guys I'll start a rebuild thread in appropriate section

pre strip down seat post at max just fits my extra long legs (37" inside leg) it's getting a good clean and degrease. New cables and we'll see how it goes
