Welcome to the club! One possible solution for you is to get a hoop with an adjustable rim. Lower that thing to 7 feet and BAM, glory days are back!
As for the bike, the bad news is you are outside the norm for height, so it will be hard to find a bike. The good news is there won't be much competition for it. Keep an eye on fleabay for 63cm+ frames -
here's a 65cm bike that looks good for cheap
look for a guy named bigfred here on this clyde board, he's round about your height and can probably offer some relevant advice that most people can't.
A guy named Lennard Zinn makes a living crafting bikes for the really tall crowd, so keep an eye peeled for his bikes. Gunnar also makes customs for tall folks. Obviously buying them new would blow your budget but keep an eye out for used ones.
