XXXL -triple x-l Nicolai on sale!

I'm a bit wee for my XXL at 6'4, I bought it off a 6'7 bloke.

Surely that must be a canceled custom order? Surely not even Nicolai keep a bike that size in stock regularly? I don't think I've ever even seen a picture of a bike that size with the exception of dirty sixers for pro basketballers.

What baffles me though is that the chain stays never change. Surely the centre of gravity changes when you stick a big unit on an XXXL?

That bike does look to have the longest chain and seatstay inserts that Nicolai make fitted to it. (black pieces at axle end of chainstay, and end of seat stay by the rocker)

On the plus side, there is room for a huge water bottle...

Yeah, but one giant rain jacket for that rider will fill it.
