I'm thinkin'. Maybe an added 'top' tube and saddle inside the main triangle. And a tiller type gizmo attached to a fork blade. Hmmm, would really get conversations going at the first club ride.

Re: The "This one actually fit him pretty well except that it’s huge size made the 700c wheels look like skate board wheels. What can I say – Erick is all about style. So I made him another one." comment

My "this is what a double triangle bike should look like" feeling tells me that once you get past a 62 or 64 ST things start to look funky because I'm used to seeing what has become for me (and I'm guessing, most people) a natural set of proportions. (I ride 60s.) Consequently, anything this big just doesn't look right.

I think one potential solution is to completely drop the double triangle design (or GT triple in this case) and try for a radically different way of connecting hands, feet, and butt to the wheels. That way someone won't be subconsciously comparing the frame / wheels proportions to the "perfect frame" they already have in their head. I've seen quite a few attempts to do this with standard sized frames, none of which is perfect, but it could be the way to go. I wonder what they finally ended up doing....
