Imagine scaling that down to medium size. It looks all wrong.

It's not absurdly huge if it fits. Ever heard of Leonard Zinn?

small frame bikes look so much better (50cm-58)

Thread hijack (kinda): I was just riding with a guy two days ago who is 6'8" and 275 lbs. He's riding a 68cm bike (might have been 69cm or 70cm). Can someone that big get a bike "off the shelf" or do they have to be custom made? He's looking at getting a new bike and thinks his only options are a custom frame.

Options are few.

- An old bike: back in the 1970s, Cannondale sold 27" touring frames (68,6 cm) as standard.

- Rivendell and, I think, Waterford or Heron, are available in 68-cm.
