I cant really see the problem with building a frame for a bigger guy. Edscoble is spot on regarding the long head tube producing a square as opposed the usual near triangle. But the Gunnar frames show how this could be avoided. Would it not be resonable to design a slightly slopping geo then add an extra tube from the seat/tt join to the downtube/headtube join.
I've also seen an example of a home build using a massive custom tube for the down tube, and downtube tubing for the top tube ...and so on.
Although, if TJ can make him a Flying Gate. Then he'll be a lucky man. Thats my favourate classic bike.
