"So you thought you had problems getting a bike to fit you?
Try being 7'6"! This 29er Gunnar Ruffian was built for
Houston Rockets basketball star Yao Ming. Having me
standing behind the bike gives it something to scale it to,
and as you can see, this thing was massive. I guess when
you're 7'6" and you want a bike to ride your options are
very limited, hats off to Gunnar for pulling this frame and
fork off for the big man."

His next trick will be getting shoes and pedals to go with it. Are those
700C wheels? And do you know how wide they were? I can't help but doubt that
he'd be using extra light wheels.

I suppose penny-farthings would come into play?

Speaking of Penny Farthings.. did anyone see
the MX paper the other day, with an article about
a dude riding across Oz on a PF?!

The next street-fix.. a PF.. imagine that rolling
down the highway!

"Oh, I didn't see you.."
"Buuuullshhheeeeet!"

And you are how tall Hippy? Just curious, that think looks like the
saddle's up to your arm pit!

That's not me.. that paragraph was in quotes.
Check out speedgoat's site for the original.
