My sister and her boyfriend are in town visiting for the next week and I'm looking for a taller bike to loan him as he is ~6' and my fleet is a little short.
Lemme know if you have an extra townie/loaner bike available for the next week that would fit a taller person better. Happy to pay a 6pack-your-choice rental fee. Hopefully they will be out with us Thursday!

Im tall and have bikes to share. Free to come over and browse for one this week. If flat bar/townie is the specific request my only one built today is a VO polyvalent v1, 3 speed internal, flat bats, front rack, full fenders. The sizing is hella wonky, but should work.

6' foot human here.
I have two not-so-valuable (but very loved) bikes I could offer.
-Fixed Araya. I'm 6' and pretty stretched out on it (bullhorns), but it's a fun bike if you're into the fixie thing. Geared pretty tall (2.8:1 I think) so he'd need to be comfortable mashing taters. Skinny tires. Rear brake is currently off the bike, with the cable still in place, held down with a purple pipe cleaner. Classy.
-SS Surly 1x1 ("DrunkBig"). Uprightish tank bike with a cute Wald basket and a insulated rear bag that fits a sixer of tallboys and a sammie perfectly. Wideish slick tires. Geared on the opposite end of the spectrum, good for hauling shit up hills. Only caveat is it has WI freewheel, so please make sure he's locking up Sheldon style. Normal mtb geometry 58.
Edit: The 1x1 runs 26" wheels, which look pretty hilarious in the suspension corrected fork

The city now owns a fleet of bikes you can borrow any time.

Missed this earlier. I have a heavy steel bike with a heavy soda basket that I can loan out. It's an upright ride w/ 8 speeds.

Thank you all!
I didn't realize they had such a full itinerary planned; doesn't look like we'll need a loaner after all. Apparently one of my other sisters reported that her p83 ride "almost killed her" so they decided to go visit Vancouver today instead, ha!
