How tall are you?

[FSR-Si]

Bourbon man myself

5' 8" tall by the way and probably the same diameter

 

[GrumbleJay]

5' 3" (well just about)
14" Orange Clockwork
14" Kona Kula Primo

 

[xizang]

6' 1", 33" inside leg. I like 18" frames but am currently building a 16" singlespeed :? Well, it is for my daughter (at least that's what I'm telling Mrs X ).

Another tall guy here 6'4" with 34" inside leg, gotta have large frame aleast 19" onwards.

6,1 here....

seems most on here are lager than average.

 

[speedplay]

6' (183cm). Stumpy (29"!!) legs and generally ride a 19" frame.

Hmm, that supprises me.

I have 32" legs, am 6', but always ride an 18" frame.

My inside leg is a 32 and I have always ridden either a 17.5 or an 18 inch frame, but the 19 inch fire mountain I was given fits lovely.... :roll:
Looks like I may have to have a clear out and buy bigger frames!

6'2" here or 187cm for the continent. I ride L or 19" frames, but (apologies) I quite like the modern longer Top Tubes (24"). I've been eyeing retro steel frames in the for sale section but I struggle with the TT on most 19-20" frames. Tips are appreciated.

The 6'4 and 6'6 guys should really have a look at a 29er, they really bring proportion into it. And there are quite a number of well crafted steel rigid examples available, also in the UK. There's On-One and one of my favourites, the Singular Swift. Both have Singlespeed roots but do come in geared versions too.

Enjoy!!

for old school bikes, the FAT YO EDDY has a pretty long TT I ride a GROOVY based on ML (19") Yo geometry being 1.98 meters :!:

I'd agree with that having ridden EdEdwards L Yo and it felt a little 'big'.

I'm 6'4" and 210lbs (i think thats 192cm and 94kg's for the Europeans )

Thanks for the tip, I had purposely steered away from top dollar high end frames though. Go figure, I got into this retro board looking for cheap thrills. It's a slippery slope out here though ...

I'm sure I picked up a loose remark somewhere that Kona had a year of extra long TT's as well. I kinda fancy the tall head tube - sloping top tubes looks they had for too. Any chance the two features coincide in a given year?
