I always assumed you were like 6'4" or something looking at the Strawberry.

That 62cm Motobecane was for a 6'1"er so I guess it makes sense now.

Yep, 6ft 0.5in tall, used to be maybe 6ft 1.5in and my Dad was 6ft 2in.

38in inseam so legs take a 64-66, some are too long in the TT even though I have a 76in wingspan, so.....
