I made a tall bike in the 60s...about 67 I'm thinking. I just got an oxy/acetylene set so I brazed everything. I used a 3 speed 26" boys bike, cut up 3 old bikes. The front was 3 forks in series. Back I made out of pipe. I used 2 chains + part of another.
I rattle can painted it candy purple, high rise handlebars and a green banana seat.[emoji21]
It had a coaster brake, front caliper and I put another caliper where I took kickstand off for rear wheel.
It got lots of attention especially from girls (one my wife now).
It wasn't hard to dismount, pick a good level spot and when almost stopped let it tilt over. I'd start off getting up on something tall, a fence, wall, etc.
Wife and I were riding bikes years ago in an upscale part of town, I was on that bike. Cars blew horns, people laughing. One car pulled over, a guy got out..."Where did you get that...that's what I need!". He was every bit of 6'9". I showed him it really wouldn't help, he needed long crank to seat length.
