Bill, do you still have this Rans Gliss for sale? I am looking for a

You might not need a suspension bike, because if you are near its weight
limit for the suspension it won't work.

I, too, am 6'-5" and some 300+ lbs. While I liked the Gliss, it wasn't
long enough. I have a 47" x-seam. If I recall, the Gliss only went to
a max of 44".

yes the bike is still for sale BUT I know your to tall for the bike
and the cane creek rear shock [I think] might not be able to handle
your weight .I'm 5'11" and have the seat almost all the way back.

Contrary to intuition, short wheelbase recumbents are easier to fit for
taller riders, and long wheelbase recumbents are easier to fit to
shorter riders.
