I started at 5'10", and I might be below 5'9" now.
I've heard that too, but I'm thinking some of mine might be in the arches of my feet as well. I had really high arches and now my foot size has gone up 1 and the arches don't seem to be as high. It's not that I'm looking for smaller frames, I'm just finding that I have to accept and work with a smaller frame if I'm gonna get the C&V bikes that have become available lately.
