Bib shorts for tall skinny people?
Whats a good bib short that will fit me? Im 6'5" ~165lbs, I have no problem finding good fitting cycling shorts, however im worried that i will have a hard time finding a bib that will be long enough for me.

Joe, have you called customer service at Nashbar, Performance, Colorado Cyclist, etc. and asked if they have sizing charts? I know they have then for waist and chest measurements, but they should have height information on something like bibs.
Or you could go to your LBS and try a few pairs on. I do that all the time.

Good recommendation. I buy my panniers, gear, and equipment thru the internet. But for something which must fit right and feel right such as clothing (and the bike itself) I go thru my local bike shop. I like bibs because you don't have to worry about cycling jerseys (or cotton t-shirts, which I often wear cycling) creeping up your back. Not that I always wear bibs, but they are nice on cooler or rainier days.
