Preferably a full bike but either way. Needs to be a monster as I'm 6'6" and looking for something to cover a lot of miles, bridleways, commuting, potential of a bit of touring so rack mounts would be a bonus.
Anything out there?
Live in the Warwickshire area.
There is slim pickings out there in the very big sizes i'm afraid. Your best bet would be an On One 21" Inbred for around £150 for the frame. The odd one turns up on here in that size.
I'm 6'7" and have a 21" Inbred, 22" Salsa & 23" Rockhopper all in 29er but i don't think any of them have rack mounts etc and the last two will never turn up for sale as they are very rare (in the largest size).
I do have a Trek hybrid in massive size (63cm - same as my road bike) which i never use (it's sat in my office) but it's rigid and hub geared (rear coaster brake so not even vbrake mounts on it) so not sure how appropriate it would be for your needs - does have rack mounts though and Nexus 7sp hub. Trek Navigator S300 - around 2004/5 model. Barely used as it was an insurance replacement.
I'm just south of Brum in case you have any interest - and any other tall chap is always welcome to come over and test out the big 29ers for size as i know how hard it is to get test rides on the biggest bikes.
Cheers! Yeah, the 21" Inbred 29er was top of my list currently, should I not find anything else 
I couldn't find much any info on the Trek curiously, but going by their newer hybrids they seem to be a bit more on the road side, I think I'm after something a bit heftier.
The Trek is certainly more road orientated, just thought i'd mention it - i've been meaning to put it on ebay for the last 2 years! It is reasonably burly though as it runs 36h wtb dual duty rims which seem very strong. It seems impossible to find any info on it btw, i looked a while back and it's as if the bike never existed. Not listed on their own archive site at all. Got it at Evans in London so it can't be that rare? Bit of a mystery?
The offer of the test ride on the Inbred still stands should you want to try before you buy.
