Tallest Homer ever? (seatpost extension winner?)

Just saw this in the classifieds. Reminded me of the "Are all Turner riders 7feet tall?" thread.

This is a strong contender for the most seat post extension.

look at the wheels compared to the frame.

damn....
I know that my example does not involve a Turner, but I will mention it anyways.

For a good part of this summer I rode stoker on a tandem while training for the Jay Challenge. The bad part? The tandem was made for a kid to be sitting stoker. It had a 13" seat tube. I normally ride a 19" or 19.5". Eeek. We had to buy a special made 500mm seat post to get it to work. Even then the top tube was so short it felt like I was riding a bike built for a monkey.
i meant to order a DOUBLE extra large frame! doh!
Seat height = bar height + 8 inches = mucho endo???
There was a female I saw a pic of on a 5 Spot who ran her Thomson to the end. She said it was endorsed by the place she bought it from and Turner. Wonder if that seat tube is still in one piece.
I have the same problem on my VP Free. I'm told I show more post than John Holmes. :eek:
I bet that guy is probably no more than 6'3"-6'4", but he's on a large instead of an XL or sasquatch. He's either all legs or he's a recovering 90's XC weenie with "post up your arse" syndrome. I know a few guys like that, they get off at every tech section cause their seat is set at OTB height, when I tell them to lower their seats they tell me thats stupid and only pussies lower their seats. I love the look on their faces when I clean a tough section while they are standing there or lying on the ground :D

oh yeah, both of these morons are on 5 Spots too and have QR collars on their bikes.
Found the rider picture

Once more for old time's sake.

Hey I saw a guy riding a while back with not only a ton of post showing, but flat bars and a riser stem flipped to be a negative rise. The bike had like 10" of saddle to bar drop; I have no idea how he rode it.

Maybe he had background in track racing? ;)
