He's 6-foot + an inch or two. I'm not sure he's my size (6-foot-4). I've often wondered if his size influenced his design choices for mountain bikes: large aluminum tubes, 1 1/4" headsets, rear suspension, etc. where Tom Ritchey (a smaller person) chose smaller steel tubes, 1"headsets, and hardtails.
