HOLY batman! 70cm!!

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Gunnar should have lengthened the chainstays A LOT for Yao Ming. He's probably doing wheelies on any slight climb on that thing.

Hey, the 70cm frame would be about right for me. Maybe 1-2cm too large, but not much. I could use a normal seatpost for once. And I'm only 6'5", certainly no Yao Ming. So, at least I'm pretty human. Standover height for me would be fine on the 70cm frame, though.

I'd hate to take a header off of that yao ming bike. Probably fall to my death!

I have found my dream bike! I didn't know there was such a thing as a 70cm frame. I would LOVE to have that bike. I contacted them. But HWD. CA to Ft. Lauderdale would probably be a lot for shipping huh? What'd'ya think?
