Big Guy or Small Bike you decide

[Mr Haematocrit]

Thought this picture of Stijn Vandenbergh on Cav's Bike was rather interesting and showed clearly the differences in the sizes between pro riders

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Cav rides same frame size as me looks tiny there

 

[Crackle]

He is 6ft 6 though, very nearly basketball player territory.

Saw the feed on Twitter earlier. Mark is still about 5' 8" isn't he ?

5' 9" (1.75 m)

We both ride the same size frames
Cav is taller than me
Im better looking than Cav
All we have to do is work out who's the fastest

 

[fossyant]

I'm 5' 9" as well. That guy is a giant !

 

[Beebo]

Even the standard 700c wheels look too small, his head is almost 2/3rds the size of the rear wheel, has it been photoshopped?

not that I know off, it was posted by Cav himself.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

That can't be a standard bike size

Works manager is 6ft 6". People in the 5ft 8" region look like children stood next to him from a distance.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Cav's bike is a 52 Venge with a 110mm Zipp SL145 stem.

My brother was 6'6" and used to ride my ponies. I'm 5'7" ish and bro used to call me 'pygmy person'.

Great picture that.

I joked about being 5'4" a few years ago on here....I know better than that now as certain people were a bit disrespectful the 'little man syndrome' comments.
Lesson learned - Avoid divulging that you are fat/bald/short/grey/etc as people can use it to wind you up.
