Everyone has a little to say about building tall bikes. use a woman's frame. use a men's. use a 3 speed hub with hand brakes, use a coaster brake, blah blah blah. i say: use whatever you want, and have available. I have one with a 3 speed and coaster brakes. it also has a women's frame on top. I also have one with a 15 speed drive train and a men's frame on top. I mount both of these from the side. you just a have to learn how to do it whichever way you feel comfortable.
anyway, the moral of the story is: use what you have. because, in the end: once your up on that bike, riding high.... nothing else matters!
