|   Yeti Kokopelli for 250 lb. rider? | Troll
Nov 22, 2002 7:30 AM | | My brother is thinking about a Kokopelli for his next bike. Any 200lb. plus riders out there or if you have one what do you think.Also he is 6'-4" tall.Is it a stiff frame?
Thanks |

The '02 frames (like Supergo has) only have a 4.5" headtube length (they lengthened it to 5.25" for '03). If you're a tall rider, this may make it hard to get the bars up high enough for comfort, unless you use some dorky combination of lots of spacer, a high rise stem, and a riser bar. Of course, if you like low bars, you're in luck.
I'm 6'3" and cancelled this bike off my list because of this.
