I think many of look to our own bikes as "normal" looking, and some of these are indeed my size, but the photographs seem to be trying to make them all look freak-show huge. Since I am used to looking at 62-64 cm bikes as normal, only the Panasonic looks huge to me. The rest are just at the upper range of normal.

I am 6'04" and anywhere from 210-230 pounds. I could shop at the "big and tall" stores, but usually can find my sizes at normal stores. Same goes for bikes: most makers offer a 62 ctc (or equivalent).

So my point it this: none of these bikes are tall-specific. They are all just the larger end of sizing on existing bikes. I am sure every one of them also comes in a sub 50cm size too.
