Holy cow batman! That's a real five bar you've got there :shock: .

Bet it rides nice though

........unfortunately, I would never be able to reach the pedals!

That looks really good Ed, always gladdens my heart to see a bike for the discerning, taller gentleman.

Bringing it to the Wobble?

holy cow thats a long steerer, nice build tho

orange71 · Oct 3, 2008

yes bringing to the Wobble hopefully - yet to be ridden in anger, though pedalled up the (small) garden

a gate it is indeed - one of the best! Trying to get hold of Greg Fuquay to find out why the head tube is so long...

Very very Nice bike, have always liked fuquays.

What size frame is that ? , My dad is 6'2 and has an old 23" DB Axis but this looks huge, I saw a 25" saracen in the ebay watch here a couple of weeks ago.

I would need a stepladder to get on there, I bet you get a good view up there

Actually seat tube is only around 21" - it's the head tube which makes it look huuuuuge

tyre?

is that a worn down Fisher Fat Trax tyre on the back?...lovely bike...I remember there being a great review of one in an old MTB Pro, actually the bike was on the front cover too come to think of it.
