I'm curious, too.

At 6'0 and 33.5" inseam, my stock 20" seat (Xootr calls it 19" -- they may be measuring shaft only) is barely long enough.

The 170mm cranks are too short for my liking and I'm looking for some 180s. That will require a centimeter less seat post extension, and make the stock post "just right".

However, with a clamp for a blinky right at the top of the post, mine is about two inches short of being in contact with the rear tire when folded.

So I've got a 22" replacement in the mail from Xootr. They'll soon have a 24" available, according to an email from Brian of Xootr.

What about stem length for you tall guys? I was lucky to find a 140mm x 12° stem, which, combined with bar ends, allows me to stretch out nicely.
