The sky's the limit.... tall bike build

[lip03]

Been away from CC for a long time, my commuting days are over but my bike obsession has not stopped, ive always liked to have bike projects on the go, restoration projects or things a little different..... like this freaky tall bike! I hope you enjoy it for what it is, a bike built purely because it can be done!

Wow that is amazing that you managed to find 3 pairs of identical bikes

You don’t want to be hurting your goolies so I trust it passes the crossbar test!

It does not! Dismount is a skill in its self!

Interesting bit of engineering. How do get on and get underway? Hope the front (only) brake is not too effective - I show the after effects of going over the handlebars on a standard bike many many years ago. A video is called for.

So its left foot on left pedal, hands on the bars a few pushes with the right foot scooter style and pull yourself up and swing the right leg over the top, getting down is as easy as jumping off..... kind of

Looking at how straight his leg is I think his seat is a bit high

Try getting a replacement chain for it!

Left-hand front brake? That would have me OTB at the first heavy braking.
