Good news,
Noel of Knolly bikes has made a successful return to riding since badly breaking his leg in November.

How big is he?
That bike looks like a toy under him.

Noel is a pretty good size, over 6' and I wont pick a weight. Wouldnt want to see him blush.
Also I think that frame is a medium, cant tell for sure as his leg is blocking part of the gusset tube that is the sizing giveaway.....

That's a bizarre picture. Even the 888's look tiny compared to Noel. Seriously though, good to hear he is back up and riding again

welcome back Noel! Here's hoping for a full year of injury free riding. BTW I scraped part of my frame, and neglected to get a warranty card from you. :rolleyes: Oh and I still have that 50mm RF stem I gotta return.

Nice to see Noel's up again! Maybe now he can put his badass bikes to good use. :D ;) :p

After being on crutches for the past 16 weeks, I can finally actually sit on a bike and pedal it around the drive way: what ends up on the Internet? A distorted wide angle pic that makes me look like Andre the Giant sitting on a Big Wheel. :P
Ya, it's a medium frame and at 6'2", I ride a large frame. Still have to say that it feels good to spin the cranks, even if I don't have enough strength to stand up on the pedals...
One of these days I'll take a digital camera with me to my next X-ray session and snap some "hardware" pics for you guys. I think there's more metal in me than most people have in their cutlery draws :)
Ps: I weigh 205# - nothing to be too ashamed of!
Pps: here's the same frame with the previous ugly orange decals on it from Interbike last October:

This is probably the only time my bike handling skills are better than yours so I am going to savor the moment. :D
