Gnarly Tall Bike I built..

Like most people, I was enthralled with the tall bikes I'd seen at critical mass and other cycling events in the city. Having always wanting to ride one and not knowing anyone who owned one, I decided to build one myself..

Frame:
Centurion and Sabre street finds..

Fork/Headset:
stuff..

Crankset/Bottom Bracket:
things..

Pedals:
whatever..

Drivetrain/Cog/Chainring/Chain:
Don't ask, it's so complicated that I'm not even sure how I did it..

Handlebars/Stem:
chill..

Saddle/Seatpost:
meh..

Brakes:
Nashbar long reach..

Front Wheel/Hub/Tire:
street-

Rear Wheel/Hub/Tire:
-finds..

Accessories:
shifter..

More Info:
The bike rides like a cruiser only your ass is at the height of SUV roofs..

All right smarty pants, I am going to give you an infectious idea. Tandem tallbike. Discuss. Seriously, very well done. First tally I've seen that doesnt look like a THC induced late night throw together.

That is honestly the only tall bike I've ever wanted to ride. So cool that you can change gears still. Smooth build.
