NOS/NIB 1981 Centurion Elite
Not high-end, even for a Centurion, but it's TALL and it's
brand spanking new! Have a look here:
.

.
Decent CroMo frame, though not Tange's lightest. Nice
Suntour groupset but not the very best.
.
But, I say again, it's brand spanking new!

You got that from Citizen Chain?
I ordered the frame only a couple years ago, in the Maroon. Really short top tube, had to use a 100mm stem. The tubing is great for a heavy rider, a little stiff. I have used mine for heavy and light touring, centurys, and whatever. Running 37mm tires on 700c rims with Techtro long reach dual pivots, I really like it.

2006 Waterford RS-22 road/fixed, 59.5cm, not uber-tall, but we need more fixies here:
