I finished this one last night and took it for a ride this morning and it rides suprisingly well, I just need to work on my chain tensioner.

ha ha love it does the benny hill music start playing when you look at it? :mrgreen: get video of you riding it
What is that, like 98 lbs? :shock:
Whats the seat height and wheel base? Do you mount up on a roll or stand on a car to get on?
Looks cool!

It weighs 113 lbs, the seat is 6'4" off the ground and the wheels base is 6' exactly. Here are some riding pics.
Sweet, you can mount up on a roll. I got to make another tallbike, to busy now but maybe in the fall. I have 2 large and curved tubing from the metal heap. I always wanted to make one into a tallbike, should come out the size of yours. Maybe if it works out I'll use the other tube to make the same with an upper and lower seating for tandem riding :shock: .

really glad to see you weaing a helmet on your awesome contraption....we have a guy that comes out on our tuesday night rides on a tallbike about that size and he never wears any kind of gear and we go some crazy places where hes hopping curbs and going over railroad tracks and such in a group of 30-100 people where people are always clipping tires.
I'm going to Portland at the end of the month to take my wifes grandma back home, I will be staying in southeast Portland, My wifes family(big WinterHawk fans) runs a tattoo shop called Family Tradition. So what sights do you recommend seeing while I'm there?
It depends on what your into, If it were me I would definetley try zoobombing, voodoo donuts and just fun stuff like that but there's a lot of stuff to do here in Portland. :mrgreen:
I thought I had a set of "acorns"... :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Your nuts bro...Good thing your young.. :lol:
I cant afford to get busted up.. :lol: ....Stay safe..You look good on it ...You must turn some heads.... :lol:

I have already been to the ER a few times because of my mountain bike but never because of my tallbikes 
, the next one I am going to build is probably going to be a custom ladder frame around the 12' area.

I shouldn't but I will. I've been wanting to build this for a few years. Plans are on the Chop Zone for free.

I guess you have time to climb down or get ready long before the top hits the ground. :lol:bicycleguy said:I have already been to the ER a few times because of my mountain bike but never because of my tallbikes

my buddy and i did 10 miles. there are a lot of hills here.
makes ya strong like bull or dead like doornail lol
last time i went out i rode 13 miles and stopped only a few times and yes one was to walk it up a hill.
i love riding it people in cars will pass and stop to wait for you to come by just so the can show others in the car your bike.
last time out i let like 5 people ride it. funny thing is the look on their face after they yell "hey can i ride that"
and you bust a quick 180 and screech to a stop next to them jump off and say here.
honks, looks, waves, whistles and those few stupefying looks of awe. i enjoy my tall bike
