interesting super tall frame
 

An interesting Medici frame for a very tall person.

72cm, holy crap!

Love the Head tube mounted shifter.

reminds me of yao ming's custom bike

+1 on the shifter placement.

Bill Walton used to ride a 72-73cm. Walton of course used to live in SoCal (where the seller is) around when this bike would have been built. Makes me wonder if it could have been his.

I would buy this in a heartbeat if I had a grand kicking around for a frame.

Looks like a touring bike, with canti studs and rack mounts; including mid fork mounts for low rider rack. That is an interesting bike. A rarity in that size for sure.

I remember seeing Walton's giant bike, but I have only heard of him riding track bikes. Who knows though.

In his book, Bill Walton talks about a 25.5 " Green Bertin, a Falcon Road Bike, a Falcon Track Bike, and a Nishiki, for stock bikes, up until 1984, when he wrote Bill Walton's Total Book of Bicycling with Bjarne Rostiang.

That thing'd make a sweet fixie.

A tall (rich) person.

And I thought I was tall.

No, he rides all kinds of bikes and has for years. Used to ride his bike to games while playing at UCLA. Now he rides a custom Holland Ti.

I like that also. I've never seen a Medici that wasnt road or track oriented. Pretty neat frame. If my measurements are correct, I'd have an inch and a quarter of seatpost showing on this. I'm not reel keen to French fit though(for myself). Might make a good 650b bike for someone, although small wheels might look out of place here.
