hey... bunch of ya know an have met me by now...... just curous on some frame ideas..... i had been looking at the crupi proxl cruiser frame which seems to have good size to it and lil more agressive geometry to it than my current pro24 sabot frame...... any paticular size that someone would say i should be looking for? or idea on how i can figure out the proper size?

Look at a Supercross cruiser. I believe you'd be looking at a 22"tt.

JUst look at some of the riders who race cruiser and their stature.
When you find one who is close to your size, look at their bikes.
Maybe the Intense Podium cruiser will work for you.

Love mine. Hasn't shown any signs of flex. It's real solid and rigid.

Shawn Diprete is a big guy. I'll bet he is close to your size. And he rides the Podium.

well that frame was my prime frame of choice..... however i called supercross today and found out easton their tubing suplier was bought.... they no longer will be making propitary tubing for frame builders to build..... so untill they can HOPEFULLY get their tooling an forms from the new owner they are no longer building the g6e or the s7 frames 
whats your take on the clayborn or redman frames compared to crupi?

I like the Redman frames. They run larger for you giant size folks. (haha) Might be hard to get one. As a shop, we had 8 phone calls go unanswered. I was weighing heavy on getting one. They lost out.
Don't know much about Clayborn. Although Barry Nobles sports the product well.
Crupi is a decent frame. But you don't see alot of the older / bigger riders on them. Plus I know that their head tube angle is tighter than most.
So no more g6e or s7 frames? They didn't have anymore left in stock? Glad I got one when I did.

they had a select few...... 8 pro sized cruisers and a handful of the midsized... the mini frames micro frams an the xl frames were all sold out..... they did say hopefully they will get the tooling and forms back from the new company so they can deliver it to a new tubing suplier and continue making their frames again..
seems like redman had the best geometry an weight idea... crupi still consideration..... but staats is i belive is the 3rd finalist.... lil more relaxed on the headtube angle.... but rest the frame seems like it might fit me quite well and seems fairly stiff

Staats are a decent frame. Although I haven't seen too many of them around as of the past year.
I think with either the Redman or Staats you would be happy. I like the design of the Redman so I guess I weigh higher on that option.
Plus Pauly Lang who used to ride for Felt, now rides for Redman. He is a big kid and races one in Pro cruiser.
Go for it.
