Tall Bikes

For all you lovers of really tall bikes especially of the C&V variety, check out Cleveland CL. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/bik/

Today 06/30/2011, it's littered with really tall frame vintage bikes.

I like the description in the Team Raleigh ad

It is made for someone tall because the steering tube is long.

That's the first one I honed in one. You really have to see it to believe it. The head tube looks like a seat tube. It's huge.

mmm tall bikes!

I'm pretty sure I'm faster on my Hi-Ten 66cm Panasonic than I am on my 62cm Reynolds 520 Jamis with all the carbon bits and brifters.

Size makes all the difference!

And really small bikes. Seems like the sweet spot is 52 CM - 58 CM.
