Default hardtail for 6ft 7in. rider?

Can anyone recommend a hardtail mountain bike (frame builder) for a rider who is 6ft. 7in. with both
long legs and a long torso?

thanx,

Just about any experienced builder who uses some kind of lugless construction will be able to make a
good bike for a big rider.

Lennard Zinn is famous for big bikes, an obvious choice. http://zinncycles.com/

I also like Land Shark (John Slawta) a very clever one-man shop. http://www.landsharkbicycles.com/

You might also consider a fat-tube aluminum bike, depending on how much you care about weight,
stiffness, etc. A big steel bike that is stiff enough for a powerful rider can be pretty heavy. I
don't have any aluminum custom builders to recommend though.
