I really want to get my dad into cycling. Problem is, he is 6'9".

 

Is there any manufacturer who makes a frame that would fit someone his size?

 

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Santa Cruz tall boy best option

My mate's 6'6" and is super happy with his Tallboy.

But as mentioned Ventana is also a great option.. Chat to Eben at West Rand Cycles.
