That frame art motivates me to follow through on some graphic ideas I have for my 1993 Trekenstein 5900.

Those tall frames always make me wonder whether a giraffe frame might handle better with a longer wheelbase without compromising handling too much.

So far the only person I've seen riding a giraffe frame bike was Bill Walton in the 1980 Tijuana-Ensenada 75 mile ride (back before the Rosarito-Ensenada twice-a-year 50 miler). Alas, Bill chugged past me so quickly I didn't get a chance to ask him about bike handling. That was during his injury year with the Clippers. Even while recovering from injuries he was pretty strong on the bike, surprisingly so on the climbs where he passed me.
