I guess this ten-foot tall FS MTB was made by the Giant Bicycle Company, I was disappointed when I found that the pedals don't turn, so it can't actually be ridden.
I don't think kidwoo will approve those tires..no knobs!
Good eye. It's an Ibis Mojo, including the proper color. Ibis used it at Sea Otter in their display. Joe Breeze measured it today, and we determined that you need an 80-inch inseam to ride it.
Kareem Abdul Jabbar or perhaps Manute Bol. Kareems custom Road bikes saddle was at my shoulder height
I dunno. Ralph Sampson was listed at 7'4". Here is his bike. Bill Walton is also a cyclist.
Kareem and Wilt used to always come into my families beach hamburger joint in Santa Monica The Sorrento Beach Grill was a hang out for movie stars, athletes and top pro Volleyball players from 1950 to 1976 Wilt would come in in a convertible mercedes with no front drivers seat ( he sat on the back seat). Kareem would ride in on a 10 speed that my dad would lock up in a back store room for him.
Bol was 7'7" but thin as a rail

I rode bikes with Bill Walton. He was a hippie.
Serial Midget has surfaced: he followed his dreams 
I never rode bikes with Serial Midge or Skookum.Serial Midget has surfaced: he followed his dreams
Agree that Bill is a hippie, but so am I. I met Bill one time at the bike show, shook his hand while he didn't give a shit who he was being introduced to. Bill is a Deadhead, and I was a roadie for another band that played with the Grateful Dead fairly often in the sixties and seventies. The person introducing me to Bill was the wife of Dead drummer Mickey Hart. Heard that Bill was at Phil Lesh's recent birthday party.
Story about Wilt. Huey Lewis the singer grew up down the street from one of my friends in high school. His real name is Huey Cregg, and his mother Magda Cregg was a well known local artist and free spirit. She had a hole in her ceiling that an exuberant Wilt Chamberlain had made while dancing at a party there.
Pedros when it was in lanesboro.
My little brother claims he smoked with Bill Walton...claims he bogarted his lighter too...
"Johns Hopkins? I smoked weed with Johnny Hopkins!" 
syadasti poopdeck repost.
My 142 is a POS, but has similar lines. Ugly from some angles, pretty from others.There's just something about those Alfas that makes me feel funny inside. That general shape of the car from that era is just awesome to look at.
Must go drive now...
A year. The fucking thing is about as frustrating as you can get. It has a near identical drivetrain as the old wagon. Every time I touch the wagon I fix one thing and improve another. Every time I touch the 142 I end up with 5 more problems and still have the same fucking problem I started with.
It is fun to drive though. Surprising power, pornographic noises for a pushrod 4 banger, and I can slide it through a corner while texting. Not that I ever would want to, text that is.

If you look carefully, you can see me in the bottom right corner.
I have a similar cloud that follows me around.

How were the festivities? I had to haul ass up the hill to make it to the chainless race ontime.
I boycotted the Lord of The Rings for years because they chose a plain comfort fit band. Spend millions on special effects, hire the most talented people in the biz, but can't do any better than a ring sold at the mall ?AMS, I totally changed my mind.
