Tell me your height and inseam length :)

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Tell me your height and inseam length :)

I have been shooting up for a couple of years now, gaining something like 7-8 inches in one year. Wonder when I'll stop.

Methinks many here confuse pants inseam with their real inseam.

Hey SesameCrunch, Pico, Denali and acathi cyclist--what size frames do you have?
I ride a 58cm c-c 59.5 c-t with a 59cm top tube. How long is the top tube on the LeMond?

It is a GT titanium that I bought used, it may be a little small technically, but it seems to work for me.
