Bikeguy Posted March 3 Share #3 Posted March 3 Yeah... I'm just tall enough at 6'4" to know things in this world are not designed for taller people. I used to go to the Chicago Auto Show to try on cars to see if I could fit inside. Many were too small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted March 3 Author Share #4 Posted March 3 I worked in a garage for a year or so. I had to have one of the other mechanics bring the smaller cars in the shop for me. I couldn’t fit behind the steering wheel. I couldn’t fit in a corvette or any car called a spider. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post az_cyclist Posted March 3 Popular Post Share #5 Posted March 3 The last time I rode Tour de Tucson was 2012. Bill Walton rode it that year and I happened to pass him early in the ride. I kept looking up and up as I went by. Certainly different than the time I rode with @petitepedal 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly different than the time I rode with @petitepedal I saw Bill Walton riding once several years ago too. The enormous head tube of his bike caught my eye and then I looked at the guys face & recognized him immediately. We were going opposite directions or I definitely would have said hello. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted March 3 Share #11 Posted March 3 I did a quick search & found an image of Bill Walton on his massive road bike. Funny in that when I saw him he had that same big smile as we passed. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted March 4 Share #12 Posted March 4 I will take 2. thanks. I will watch the video at lunch. I'm seeing dual brake discs on the front - is that a thing nowadays? or is that just a thing for this bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is just for 36 ers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted March 4 Share #14 Posted March 4 I did watch part of video. I guess some people are willing to try riding a bike that's too big for them, in light road traffic. It is a bit fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted March 4 Share #15 Posted March 4 That’s quite a bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted March 4 Share #16 Posted March 4 list price: $5 grand. When I was shopping for my road bike I wasn't able to find one in a store, to test ride - I had to take measurements against my existing bike and find out what needed to be bigger, and I crossed my fingers when I ordered it... thankfully it worked out. I wonder if this would be the same experience. Interesting to note that this bike has 200mm crank arms - compared to the 210s on my road bike. I thought the "Dirtysixer" might have even longer cranks. (current models of my road bike also have 200s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
