today I got measured/fitted for a custom frame, here are the results
187.9 or 6'2" tall
94.5cm or 37.2" inseam
44.5cm thigh
59.5cm or 23.4" torso
42cm shoulder
71cm or 27.9" arm length.
27.2cm foot
my flexability +10 degrees
The fitter recomended a 65cm c-t seat tube + a virtual top tube of 57cm c-c, an 11-12cm stem, and a 27cm headtube, using a 73/73 geometry.
Any constructive commemts would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried any of the online fititng programs.
I was a little surprised at the top tube length, but he did the measurements. 37 inseam is pretty huge, so that's going to be plenty long no surprise there. You need a custom frame! have you been riding a 56 with a really long seat post extension?

I tried the one on the Zinn website, but his site recomends a custom 191mm crank :eek: . What sites have good online fitting programs?

I've been riding ill fitting bikes since I hit my growth spurt 24 years ago.
A 61cm Motobecane Super Mirage , 59cm Moto Pro-lite AKA "the Flexible Flyer" (the Vitus Aluminum model), a 60 cm Cannondale R600 AKA "the Bone Shaker" from 1986-94, a 60 cm Trek 2100 from 1994-current. I bought a 58cm Flyte SRS-3 6 weeks ago. The TT is not too bad, but my hands are way too low now.
Nothing fits me well, and I'm sure my lack of flexability isn't helping anything. Is a bike with the recomended dimensions going to look awful?
