Bill Walton's bike

[Aaron Thomas]

As pictured outside my LBS. Get that man a second top tube!

His head tube is probably as long as my seat tube...

Yeah, but if you do that, how is that bike ever going to "plane...." Good Luck!

Or, you could say, if that guy doesn't need a second top tube who on
earth does?

I can't see the picture while I'm at work, but if I remember correctly, Bill's bike is not steel, correct? Is it possible that additional tubes serve a purpose on large steel frames but not as much on large frames of other materials, like carbon fiber, which are stiffer?

pretty sure it's steel. Made by Holland.   The tubes look very oversized... maybe triple oversize?

Bill Walton did ride steel bikes for a long time:

For other exceptionally large bikes including lots of rivs I suggest
browsing the gigantic freekin bikes pool at flickr:

or the similar Really large bikes pool:

I do have the Kelly frame and fork, that I posted at 83cm or so in my
basement, if anyone wants a huge bike it may be time to sell:
