One of my goals is to build a tall-bike. In fact, it will be a touring tall-bike. The idea is to build a bike that is about 5'5" to 6' tall, and equip it for long bike rides and touring. These first few drawings were inspired by Mike Watson, with interactive feedback on the HPVOoO IRC channel.

Planning

	The first design.
	The second design. This one incorporates a recycled rear-triangle for the bottom-back, and recycled ladies-frame front triangle for the top-front. This means less welding, and less worrying about how to attach components.
	The third design. Replaced the long bottom tube with a couple of shorter ones angling up to the long horizontal piece. A little less steel, and no long, flexy piece.
	The fourth design. Adjusted the two bottom pieces for better triangulation. Should improve strength. However, it's heavier than #2 or #3, and there will be an aweful lot of welding around the bottom bracket, possibly distorting it.
