Bike for a bigger guy

[House]

Ok my weight reduction has come to a crashing halt, so I need to up my exercise and I think im going to go back to riding a bike.

Now when i was 18 (15+ years ago) I used to do allot of riding and I still have an old bike that was custom built costing more than my first car did but its rusted to hell and outdated fairly badly (cant really be repaired without spending allot of money).

So im looking for a new bike that will be ok for a 6'7" rider, most of the HT bikes I've seen stop at 21" frame size and I think thats going to be abit small. any suggestions?
I really dont want to break the bank was thinking around £250 - £350

From a thread by Sweetloaf, Claude Butler Stone River comes in 22" frame size, you could also get extension stems and layback seatposts if needed.

Some bikes do come in 23" frame sizes but I don't think I've seen many larger than that. You might have to look secondhand or at smaller manufacturers if you want more unusual sizes.

I've got a retro 23 inch Muddy Fox that needs repair if ya like

Other than that, as semi pro said, that Claud Butler seems like a bargain, I'll let you know tommorow but you are only 3 inches taller than me and I wouldn't struggle on a 21", you will be fine with 22", go to a local bike store and sit on one, then order something on the net.
