Handle Extender

TALLER IRONING BOARDS
Rowenta IB-6200 Professional Ironing Board
It adjusts from 25" to 39" ... a full four inches higher than most ironing boards. You can find it for sale on Amazon.com

If you're over six feet tall and you're ever going to lift an iron, do yourself a favor ang get this Rowenta. I'm 6'5", and it's at the perfect height (arms extended, palms flat) for me at its vertical limit.

Tall Bicycles

They have a wide range of bikes in lots of different sizes. Their custom frames range from $900 to $5,000. They don't have a website, but one of their fans made them this page.

Tall Rides
Rusty buys new and used larger-sized bike frames and customizes them to accommodate a taller rider's inseam length (from floor to pubic bone), flexibility, arm and torso length and riding style. The Tall Rides Website includes bikes for sale and a blog for information about bicycles.

TIPS FOR TALL BIKE SHOPPERS
You don't make pants for a tall person just by lengthening the cuffs, nor do you make tall bike frames by lengthening some of the tubes.

"Jobst Brandt is a tall cyclist, mechanical engineer and bicycle expert, has pointed out that lugged frames have a design weakness in the boundary between the lug and the tube forms a natural stress riser. This claim was accurate in my case, as I had a lugged frame fail with a headtube fracture right along the downtube lug (the known point of maximum stress). Carefully designed lugs can minimize this problem, but most people buy lugs for the retro-look, not for functionality. Jobst points out fork crown lugs have been particularly badly designed in the past (and failed predictably).

Touring frames are the only ones I know of these days that extend the wheelbase even a little beyond the minimum. Heavier riders also need wider tires, and too many frames today won't take anything over a 25 mm. I think the best stock geometry a tall person can get now is a touring frame, and fat-tubed aluminum is a better material for large frames ridden by large riders."
