Thinking of building a kill flyer but at 6ft 6 and largest size being 21" is it too small ? any tall riders have any thoughts thanks
Love mine. I'm 5'6" on a small (that's not much help is it...)

My sole remaining 26" (size 21") bike feels weird now after riding my other 29ers. The fit simply is not as good (i'm 6'7") although there are still plenty of tall riders (defined by me as 6'4"+) on 26" wheels.
Have you tried a 29er? If you're happy with the smaller wheel size and it's the bike you want then go for it, like most things for people of our size, you'll learn to make it fit as we don't usually get much choice. It just may not look all that pretty and get mistaken for a gate out in the countryside.....
