Bikes for storks

[Tootyred]

Struggling to find a bike that's not going to make you look like a performing circus bear?

Tired of seeing adverts for amazing bikes in ridiculously small 19" sizes, made for very average people.

"Head down - ass up" riding rapidly turning your once loved bike into a medieval torture device?

If you answered yes to any of the above then this could be for you. Show us your "stork bikes"; bikes for the discerning taller gent.

To get the ball rolling, here's my 21" Swallow ptarmigan, with a nice healthy 175mm head tube.

Im just 6'4" and a bit.....i swear i used to be taller.....hummm.

The blue frame is just fantastic! Love the fact you have to have the seat right down! I haven't had a bike like that since i was about 12!

Cool.

I was told it was25” which is my regular size. The third bar meant it was coming home whatever. 27 glorious inches of Bob Jackson steel.

Have you seen the xl version of the pelago stavenger? Look familiar?

Love the first post on this thread from @Tootyred:

Funny thing for me is that a 19" sized frame is still too big cos I'm a shorty! (5' 7") so all these frames look crazy MASSIVE! Great thread though!

I'm guessing the storck brand isn't what you mean. I'll get my coat....

Is that the butter substitute. Works well on chamoise inserts.....as long as the suns not too hot.
