Hi guys, I'm looking to get a new bike in the near future and would welcome some advice from some bike shop type people.
My main problem is that I am struggling to find a manufacturer that makes a nice sized bike as I'm 6' 8" tall and VERY heavy. I am swayed by the concept of 29'ers as they seem nice and big though I have just seen that Orange go up to 22" on their 5, though it's quite expensive.
I think I would be better off with a coil shocked bike as the spring seems a safer bet for me. I would obviously still need a big frame size and prefer a bit of length in the frame to suit my quite long torso.
Am I asking too much and does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks for your time,
