Jim., Awesome. Here is an 83cm frame Chris Kelly made for Eric Dampier then the center of the Golden State Warriors: http://tsaleh.blogspot.com/2006/11/big-ass-bike-in-flesh.html Through an eleaborate system of levers and pullys that frame may or may not be in my basement now, awaiting conversion with a kidback tandem attachment to an "already" tall bike for mortal sized people There are two flickr pools you should add your pic to: http://www.flickr.com/groups/497742@N25/pool/with/4094111379/ and http://www.flickr.com/groups/1189260@N20/pool/with/4094111379/ Good stuff. I think most of these really big bikes are made with the longest chainstays available with little or no cutting on them to get them mitred up, but they always look like they are too short. Chainstays are probably the one tube that actually is bike specific tubing on these types of frames. For the most part everything else is 4130 straight gauge aircraft tubing...
