How big is yours?

Spotted on an Audax yesterday.
The chap who's bike it was was over 6ft tall. I don't think I've ever seen a taller headtube.

Compared to one of mine

Wow! I'm jealous of your tube length squadron leader!

This used to be mine- a 66cm seat tube, the tallest bike I've owned.

This one was 65cm.
BIg frames are one reason I like the older steel bikes, the larger frames seemed to be a bit more common

Plus stem raised, then angled riser on top.

Plus stem raised, then angled riser on top.

The bars were even higher than that when I first bought it with an adjustable stem. The length of that stem doesn't really make any difference to riding position because it's as near as dammit at 90 degrees to my arms, all that happens when the length changes is my arms rotate around my shoulder. It makes a big difference to bike stability though, it shimmies with that short stem.

The cobwebs show a lack of use.

Good spot, not been on the M500 for a long while. Its 1995 vintage

Apparently size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it that counts

My 24" framed Viscount Aerospace. This is the limit of what I could safely ride but have always found it very comfortable.
