Ever wonder what a 7'6" dude rides?
http://www.speedgoat.com/images/blog/ib04-ming-T.jpg
"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." hippy |

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. |

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?! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/e...ex/3736232.stm http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=20041 The next street-fix.. a PF.. imagine that rolling down the highway! "Oh, I didn't see you.." "Buuuullshhheeeeet!" hippy |
