Have likewise had at least 4 people pushing 6' ride my Junior, who doesn't
quite make an honest 14:3, but he is the one that weighs in at 950+ and is
such a tank.  All have found him extremely easy to ride.  (He has had 11
different riders in his career, ranging from moderately small juniors up to
tall heavyweights, and doesn't seem to bat an eye under either extreme...)
