Tall Bikes

For all you lovers of really tall bikes especially of the C&V variety, check out Cleveland CL. https://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.

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!
