Yessir, I get it, please trust me on this.
I'm on the opposite end of this at 6ft tall with a 38in inseam I need a bike that fits someone much taller without the reach to go with it.
Just finding tall enough ones is hard enough, I have a few but I also have several that are almost tall enough but not quite right.
Its all good, no one knows better than I that we gotta do what we gotta do.
