Amazing Tall Bike Will Make You Forget This Horrible Rain
Written by Boston Biker on Apr 23Holy shit…thats a very tall bike. Watch to the end for scale.
From youtube:
It’s safe to say that you probably won’t see this bike on public streets again any time soon. What an awesome adventure, but too much risk to bring around others. Thanks for all the support and all those beautiful smiles.
14.5ft at the Seat
Built in 12 work hours
One Huffy beach cruiser, 2″ square tubing, 3/4″ round tubing, and 1″ round tubing
26″ single speed coaster brake wheelset
6 1/2 single speed bicycle chains (32.5ft of chain)
To bend the pipe i used an upside down shopping cart and a split log. Ghetto, i know, but hey – IT WORKS.
My last tallbike was just under 10ft tall at the seat and you can see us featured in 30 Seconds to Mars’ music video, “Kings and Queens” – http://youtu.be/hTMrlHHVx8A
STOOPIDTALL, is the inbetween from that one (Kafourki) and the world record tallest bike that i’ll be building next this year.
Thank you to all the Angelopes who guided STOOPIDTALL through the sea of fellow cyclists!
And thanks to all the photographers and videographers who documented STOOPIDTALL’s Maiden Voyage!
Much love, Richie

Cambridge Bike Party Sum It Up In One Word, Epic
Written by Boston Biker on May 21The Cambridge bike party was AWESOME.
Be sure to watch it in high def. I know it is dark, if you are having trouble seeing it let me describe what is going on. Craig Roth is riding a tiny tricycle UNDER a massive tall bike while they are moving…epic.
Great night, thanks Cambridge for putting this on!

Frankendork:Fixed Gear Tall Bike by Geekhouse
Written by Boston Biker on Apr 25Geekhouse bikes front man Marty (thats their logo down in the right hand corner check them out) put together this sweet as hell tall bike. I am digging the green/yellow spray job, as well as the clean lines. Nothing says “man about town” than a bright green/yellow tall bike.
So I built a pursuit tall bike… I literally built the whole bike from start to finish in about two days. Thanks to Mark B, Buckley, Dan StG, Logan, and Pete S for helping me with everything this past Sat. We were literally on a mission to get frame and parts all rattle-canned and ready to go. It was kind of crazy because the weather Sat was beautiful, then crazy thunderstorms rolled in and there were lightening flashes going on in the background while we were trying to paint it. I decided to call the bike Frankendork, and I really felt like a mad scientist welding this thing together. A lot of the tubing was from scrap or extra lying around the shop, but the front is double butted deddacchi, meaning it’s probably one of the nicest build tall bikes I’ve ever seen. Anyway, I hope everyone gets a kick out of it. Thanks!
