BIG steel mtb frame

[_jammy]

Hi guys,

I'm on the lookout for a huge steel MTB frame - the bigger the better (I ride a 68-70cm road bike, 6"8 tall with a long inside leg). Something older, and interesting ideally. If it was fillet brazed rather than tigged that would be even cooler...

anyone?

Or do folks have suggestions of specific frames/models that I should be looking out for?

Hi,

Don't know if this is any good to you.

Don't think I've seen anything MTB bigger (but there could be), it's a good make and looks steel from the tube sizes, it also seems to have some good kit on the frame.

If you are too far away to collect have a look at here and you might find someone on the forum that could pick it up and post it on to you; http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=82030

If you have no joy, you can always drop a quick post asking for help in the Retro MTB forum.

Good luck

Found another one that might be OK.

Down in Kent but if to far you you could give cchris2lou a PM as he's on the assistance thread and the bike is right in his area.

Yep sure did miss the link out, must have been having a moment

I'm not to far from the Raleigh myself and might be able to help sort something out if you get stuck and want to get the bike.

Have a 22" c-c GT Bravado frame in Red. GT did make a frame as large as 24" c-c in the Timberline, Tequesta and Karakoram in the early years.
