Tall riders

[Peder Torgersen]

I was interviewed recently by a medical magazine and I got the magazine on Friday.
There was a picture of me on a Vendetta and I got a call on Saturday.
A man called to ask about recumbents and informed me he is very tall 2.13 m which is about 7 feet tall!

I told him I would check but said that most recumbents are too small for him.
I also explained how to measure his X-seam but haven't got that yet but he said he had very long legs.
He weighed 130 kg what is the weight limit for Vendetta?
What is the tallest rider that will fit a Vendetta?
Are there some very tall Vendetta riders?
