Big Guy or Small Bike you decide

I'm also 6ft 6 and look like that on a frame sized like that, kids bike they are called.

 

[Hacienda71]

Doesn't look like a 700c wheeled bike. I am 6'4" ish and my lower leg is no where near as high as the wheel on my bike. In the photo the guys lower leg is bigger than the wheels. At a guess I would say it is a 24" wheel bike and Cav is taking the piss.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

The bikes proportions look fine to me, including the wheels. I would say its comparable to my Venge

 

[ColinJ]

Here he is on his own bike ... He's pretty tall!

 

[Hacienda71]

Is he really only 6'6"? He looks about 7'

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Considering the size of that frame and the position of his legs he looks a pretty tall fella

 

[Kies]

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

1 of the first 3 statements are incorrect!!!!

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.

Wow - your short,fat,bald AND grey!
Don't ever ask the mirror mirror on the wall ...

You think I'm taller than Cav?

I'm 6'8" and I've sat on a couple of bikes looking like that, usually with a salesman saying, "Yeah, you'll be fine, it's a perfect fit for you."

If it made others feel better about themselves here, I have probably been all of these things in their eyes

 

[SteCenturion]

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

You're not house sitting in Italy for him r u ??
Good Cav knowledge !!

You could be related...I tower over you by 6cm or so, but all the rest is pretty accurate nowadays!
There's nothing wrong with being little, riders like Stijn are wonderful to sit behind, you feel nothing! Then when it's your turn to come through, just hear them complain about lack of shelter! It's even better in echelons
What I did see the other days had me feeling big though, a couple of guys from South America I met whilst our (OK, in the cafe..). Riding 47 and 48 frames. Beautiful bikes, and 3cm less than mine. They could climb a bit, though, and gave me a chance to try and remember my Spanish from about 100 years ago, mainly the words for "easy!!"
