Visit all of the bike shops within ten miles or so of your home. A bike shop near me had a beautiful 1980 ish Paramount they could not sell. It had been custom-made for an owner was was 6'6 or 6'8"...the shop was willing to sell the bike at a bargain price...I think it took them six months to find a customer tall enough.

Likewise, on E-Bay, I've seen beautiful Reynolds 531 frames and forks sell very low, because they were build for a guy your size. Guess how many bids they got?
