FS: Vintage 1983 Specialized Sequoia frames, Size: Humongous

My humble thanks in advance for your time, everyone. This is a little bit
of an off topic for sale post, but I'm hoping there's a very tall person
out there who has some love for well preserved classic steel. Price is $300
for OBRA. Trying my hardest to avoid craigslist and ebay.

For Sale: 69cm c-c 1983 Specialized Sequoia frameset in extremely good
condition

-There are a handful of light scuffs and scratches in the clearcoat, and
some tire rub on the left chain stay, but otherwise it's in
so-good-it's-hard-to-believe condition.
-Standover height is 37 3/8" (!!!) with 700-28 tires, so be honest with
yourself.
-Tire clearance is pretty big: 32's should be no problem, and I'm imagining
a pretty sweet 650b-40+ gravel build with long reach brakes.
-Rear spacing is 126mm, but spread to 130 okay for the photo wheelset. I've
done this with a bunch of vintage steel frames and this felt like one of
the stiffer examples, which I'd consider a good thing in a frame this big.

Again, wheels/tires in the photos are 28mm Panaracer Gravel Kings and are
for reference only. Frameset only includes the like-new original
Specialized headset with fresh grease and the color matched laprade seat
post.

Please take a look through the Flickr album, email me if you have any
questions, and spread the word to any friends who have to duck through
doorways.

Thanks!
