Dirty Sixer

Dirty Sixer makes both 32 inch and 36 inch wheeled bicycles for the tall heavier riders. They make road, hybrid and MTB styles. If you go to their website you will see a person of your stature riding a bicycle that looks normal. Wheels are not small, Frame seems to be proportional. Up close the bikes are huge like us. This outfit takes wheel and frame loadings seriously and builds bicycles to haul the weight. Of course the bicycles will be heavier than their smaller brethren but nothing is free. These bikes do not fit the under $2000 limit but maybe you can find one used. The manufacturer of these bicycles sell a lot of them to NBA past and present stars among others. They size everything bigger so cranks can go to over 200mm long.
