I designed and manufactured this bike (as a "Ghost Builder") for a guy who was starting up a small business centered around bikes for exceptionally tall people. I've since stopped this practice as it tends to give little to no credit to the hard work, ingenuity, creativity, and persistence of creating something from nothing. Shaquille is 7' 2" tall and 360 pounds. This was an exciting bike to build and I'm proud of the final result.
