| Sorry, but we are still in the prototype / testing stage. The price on both the R2 and the R2L at this time (05/09) is $1000 USD each for all sizes. The difference to make a bigger wheeled bike vs a smaller one is not that much. I will not charge you extra. Shipping will be higher however on a bigger bike. Shipping info below. |

| Important Notes: 1) The BEST WAY if at all possible is to use a friends High Wheel Bicycle. A normal bicycle might work too but with either one please check to see how soft or how far down its seat will compress when sat on. The seat on our bikes will compress about 3/4" to 1". Adjust the seat height and/or pedals on your friends bike to match the sizes on my chart and see how it fits you. How does it feels when you are riding a real bike? If you have never ridden a High Wheel Bicycle before then remember that High Wheel Riders use their legs stretched out. NOT like most modern bike riders that ride with bent knees. I suggest going to www.youtube.com and do a search for: "Penny Farthing", "High Wheel" and "Ordinary" bicycles. My favorite is OE Presents. You can see in this video that his toes are at work way too much. The bike is too big for him, maybe two sizes too big. Watch the turns carefully. It is said that the best bike to ride long distance with is one that is a bit small for you. Watch many Videos and see how their legs/feet work. You will see bikes that are too big or too small for the rider. If very small then there is the danger of your knees getting trapped under the handlebars. If too big then you will forced to use your toes to put power to the pedals BUT when taking a turn especially uphill turns you will stretch even more on one side. This can be a problem and could put you in a dangerous situation. Many want the biggest sized bike they can ride but the experianced rider will choose a correct sized bike because it is safer and easier to ride! Beginners are better off with a bike that is of correct size instead of one that they will have to stretch their toes to ride. Put your safety first! In fact if you are a beginner I would recomend the R2L Safety to learn on before you ride the R2 Repro. It's a safer bike to learn on, looks great and will still turn heads. 2) The R2L Safety has some slight adjustment in the front rods. They can adjust the pedals about 1/2" up or down. Also with R2L, it is possible to remove the levers and rods and mount the pedals directly to the cranks. This would fit a smaller / young rider. I posted those sizes as well. 3) Posted inches are with a pedal that is mounted at the halfway point of the Crank. 4) The "Seat To Pedal Bottom" measurement is the more important one. 5) Don't order a bike that is too big for you. It will be Unsafe and Difficult to ride! All of our bikes will impress people, you do not need the biggest one! 6) I will not recommend a size for you. You must figure it all out yourself as everyone is different and I do not want to be responsible if you order the wrong size bike. 7) Although this is a more difficult way to size your bike rather than using your "Inseam", it is a much more accurate way. Spend the time to do it right. You will be happier and safer with your new bike. Shipping Info: Air Freight Door To Door, Air ship to your door to most places in the USA.
