how tall?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Take a guess:


Spotted the bike on campus today. The frame makes the 700c wheels look tiny.

Didn't expect someone to reply who'd actually seen the bike/rider. That double top tube is a first for me, never seen one before.

80% sure the bike is steel and custom built for the guy. OT: What sort of Pinarello are riding?

mines hanging from the roof of my garage, it's an early 90's Banesto team replica. Lugged steel, 9 speed record, classic bars, flite saddle etc etc.

And yours?

@woodchuck: A 2002 Pinarello Prince w/ Chorus & Mavic Ksyrium SSC. A recent addition to the stable, I've put just under 100k's on it. My first geared road bike

@jtdavidson83: Damn, how tall are you?

@everyone else: Back to the matter at hand: I'm guessing the guy must be ~6'10"
