It may well fit you nicely, but I bet it don’t look right!
I’ve met dozens of people when out on the bike. Most have commented on how in proportion it looks. Most hadn’t realised it was even a 29er because it looks right. Not the best pic, but it looks just like a FS mountain bike with a longish seatpost:
I think 29ers best point for many tall people isn’t any BS about bigger wheels suiting taller people better but simply that the bikes look in proportion.
Most people don’t realise that my bike is a 29er because proportionally it looks like a 26″ one (except for the -ve rise stem, I guess).
Another member of the TSTW club! Does seem to be a disproportionate amount of tall people here though. Or are we all making it up?
Photos?
Considering the 29er thang, but only because it does seem that the proportions are more appropriate for those who are vertically challenged in a different way.

Meh…no sideview? You’re cheating! To be fair, considering its size, it’s got as gate-ish as it could be…seen much worse.
Oh well. If the worst I have to suffer for riding a superb bike is a short angry man whom I’ll never meet telling me on the internet that he doesn’t like how it looks, I’m OK with that.
6’3″ (191cm) 34″ inside leg
50″ chest so I ain’t light, but do have big lungs 😉
MTB frames mostly 20″
Road 60cm
Only have 26″ wheeled mountain bikes and if I’m honest when I see pictures of me on them they do look like I’ve stolen them off some kid
I am 185cm and thought I was above average…. never mind! My wife’s family all played top-class basketball in Germany – the father in law is 2.02M and he has introduced me to people who are 2.15M tall – I feel like a little kid!
A small tall 6’4. Good views but crap for hide and seek. And the number of times i’ve cracked my head on things isn’t even funny. God knows how the taller lads cope.
