Custom bikes for a 7-footer
Saw this in a Facebook group I'm in and thought y'all might enjoy. Check out the guy's old serotta and his new ride it's leaning up against!

I believe this is the first 700cc-to-26" conversion that I have seen.

Wow what wheel size is that on the mtb? 1400c ?

The chainstays on that Serotta should be 5cm+ longer.

Yes. Way too much weight over the rear wheel. Zinn does a better job with oversized frames.

I like the description of the 36er on the website - Size Small fits riders 6'5"-6'9"

Hi and thanks all for the comments on the big 36er bikes for tall. We've developed a real Road version for us tall, see the pic attached. It's a size M DirtySixer for riders from 6'9" to 7'1". The MTB version on the left is a size S for rider riders from 6'5" up to 6'9".
Hope we can get all the tall and very tall riders on proportionate bikes, the DirtySixer! :-P 16836713_721150684714323_6515737616476873675_o.jpg |

Clean69er pal, very good of you to cater to our tall pals. I think the bikes on that picture needs some kind of reference point. They looked like normal bikes.

Nice bikes by the way and long overdue for taller riders. I never understood why we had to shoehorn tall riders onto bikes with small wheels and short cranks.

Thanks for the warm words.
For comparaison I have this pic of a DirtySixer size L with one of our 7f customer, our engineer, fabricator and owner of Ventana bikes, Sherwood at 5'8" (maybe?) and myself at 6'6"... |

Those bikes look great. I've always thought huge, oversized frames look bad with conventional setups. These bikes look like they would ride and handle as well as the smaller versions.

Look at the bars on the yellow bike.
