Would this be an ideal starter bike for a 6'6" 200 lbs guy like myself?

i think you may need a bigger bike frame, probably something around 62 cm. the 58cm frame may be too small, depending on the length of your legs. if you can find this bike in your size, go for it it though, i'm really happy with mine!

It might be just a bit small. I'm 5' 11'' 200lbs. Its just right for me, maybe a little tall, so like I say.. Maybe just a bit small for you.

I think so, I am 6'1 and weigh 215 lbs and it is fine for me. I have been riding it at home on the trainer and on the weekends outside and its perfect.

Ya I'm 6 foot and it is just a little tall for me. Only problem I had with the bike are the brakes the front brake is crooked so it doesn't line up properly. And the rear brake rubs against the rim no matter how wide you make it I had to make my own adjustments. But I could never get the front brake to work properly.

Hi Leon,I think you'll enjoy this bike. I'm 6'2" and are very comfortable, plus the seat is adjustable. I hope this is helpful. Enjoy, Mark

It's a tall bike! I'm 5'6" and feel that is on the tall side. Would recommend a smaller bike.

I'm 5'6" and I can ride it just fine. The seat and handle bars are adjustable as well. Just make sure you tighten them very well.

This bike should work well for your height. I'm 5'11" and wish it was a bit longer between the seat and handle bars. It should be perfect for you. There are plenty of seat adjustments.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I'm 5'11" and I had to lower the seat, so I'M sure this bike is adequate to accommodate your height comfortably. Hope that helps.

YEs I think it would be. I'm 5'11" and I can ride. Its a nice bike. We got it for our son and I tried to trade him my Giant.

Five might be a little small but it is a perfect starter bike. The bike is light weight and is very easy to use. I would recommend the bike to other beginner riders.

Yes! I am 6 ' 275 lbs and it holds me easily! To add to that, this is probably the most comfortable feeling bike I have had since I was a kid! Feels very solid for the price, especially and I think it just really looks sharp! I don't know that it would be a bike for a serious mountain bike competitor, but excellent for the average weekend warrior.

I am 6'5" 250 so no problem fitting you, but I would look elsewhere for a good exercise bike. As I type this my wife is using it and it makes a knocking sound at every pedal stroke. I put it together very carefully and I would say this is worth half of the price. Also, pedals too wide for serious bikers.

Absolutely. I'm 5'10", but an embarrassing 210 pounds. I use it on a fairly low setting. There's plenty of room to raise the seat and extend the bars for your husband. The bike itself is very well built. It's enormously sturdy and provides a smooth ride. It's only drawback is the seat. It's awful. He'll want to go to his local bike shop to get something more comfortable. The only other customization I made was to install an old pair of clipless pedals. Bottom line - go for it! He won't be disappointed.

Even though I am male and 6 foot 2, I have a few 26inch bicycles and all you have to do is adjust the seat post up. You can always get different handlebars for comfort, but this bike is fine as it is. Just to give you a different reference, my wife and also her daughter who are both at the lower end of the 5 foot range have used this bike. I had to lower the seat all the way down where the seat springs straddle the bike rack and it works for them just fine.

Hey Christine. How tall? I'd say if he's over 5'0 then you'd want something bigger to allow some growing room. Otherwise this will be a good bike.

Yes. My friend is 6'2", 58 years old, and he zipped around on it, loved it. The secret to tall people riding this type of bike is the adjustable seat that goes higher than most folding bikes. I had a Citizens bike but the seat did not go high enough making the knees to close to the handle bar, so I found the Schwinn an it is a good fit for tall folks too!

I am 6'2" and weigh 220lbs. The bike is just fine for me. You will not have any issues.
