7’6" Shawn Bradley had his custom Trek bike stolen(and recovered). I need pictures of this bike.

EDIT:

Found one. Holy crap.

I know they’re not, but the wheels look like 650’s.

On him, they look like 450s.

I can just imagine the scene at the bike shop when they ask how many spokes he needs for the wheels. “Uh, all of them.”

His seat’s too high

Please somebody get him some custom 29er road wheels.

29ers are 700c just a bit wider. so he essentially does have 29ers on there.

swiftrobie · November 11, 2011, 6:54pm

oh yes, duh. maybe some custom 750 or 800’s then.

Given that this bike was custom built, why does he have so many spacers and an up-turned stem? Did they run out of carbon when making that head tube?

I wonder this same thing every time I see one of the custom brands with spacers.

There is like 1 thing a custom bike is good for, and that is a perfectly spacerless, flat stem, low rise headset cap setup.

MAKE IT HAPPEN!
