Who here has some really tall bikes? I am talking 70cm and over frame sizes.

If you drop that number down 2-3 cm, I could show three bikes..
That bike in the picture looks slightly smaller than a 70? Can you post a straight on side shot of it?

It's a 27" (68.59cm) Schwinn Traveler, so it's a bit shy of 70cm. The tallest any production Schwinn ever got was 27". The only production bikes I've seen in person and in the catalog, that match or exceed 70cm, are the lower-end 28" (71.1cm) Panasonics (DX-1000/2000). It's essentially custom for anything else 70cm+.
