Finding large bikes is often a problem. However it is the start of the season
so you might be in luck. As I stated before...I think...you should probably
consider a 29er given your height. I'm not a fan of them for mere mortals...aka
'normal' sized people...but for tall people they make a lot of sense. The extra
height of the wheels and tires makes the fit a bit better for tall riders.
This is quite true, Eugene.
Most tall cyclists really do appreciate the 29er as a MTB, more so than the traditonal 26er.
Good luck and once you get the bike, have fun.
Of course, all of the members here at BF, wish you all the best, Eugene!
Ignore most the ecclesiastical discussions about angels and pinheads that you
get around here.
Yes, Eugene! Especially ignore the statements of pinheads!
I know I can't speak for most BF members, but I can certainly say for myself, that Cyccomute is a very intelligent and thought-provoking kinda guy! I just can't help but to like this guy!
However, there's just something about him, that constantly reminds you that despite the genius, he's just a few apple slices short of a Happy Meal!
