Sorry to say that the super-jumbo (73cm) 'Colian' frame that I helped a Chicago friend acquire from MiamiJim met the same fates as most of this super-jumbo guy's bikes: it broke. First the dropouts, as apparently usually happens, then after they were re-welded, the downtube by the lug (not sure which one). He's by no means overweight for his height, he's just...really big, and so has broken several frames. The Laing he really regrets as he knows it was something very special, so he's holding onto it and hoping to get a framebuilder to rebuild and reinforce it in some way. In the meantime he's got a Fuji 69cm frame, which is a bit small for him, but he considers frames like that as basically wear and tear items.
