Most of us have some kind of fit issue. My buddy Colleen is very tall - over 6'6, but she rounds down to that. She hasn't had a bike that comes close to fitting since she was a little kid. She also doesn't have the resources for something custom and there aren't stock men's bikes that fit. Most of her height is in her legs.

She works with kids trying to get them interested in biking and gardening. Trek decided to make a special bike for her - a custom frame based on one of their "eco" designs. They also did an amazing paint job.

Here is a link to a post on her blog. (http://www.6footsix.com/my_weblog/2010/02/trek-is-here.html)

I'm pretty tall and went with a custom frame, but I was in a position to afford it.
