(list are not in order of shortest reach, longest legs, but Indra is probably up there).

apollo is in denial after being confronted by a gang, please help him feel more comfortable about his disability, it's very important that one's should be at ease with one's limitation.

Slow day in the office Scobs?

Do we get a prize for being in the club?

Are you guys going to get into gang fights with the Orangutan Brotherhood? How exciting.

I think you inducted me at one point, Ed. I'm 6'1" and have a 55.5 top tube with an 11cm stem on the Feather. The seat tube is quite steep though, which makes the reach sound shorter than it is. I run a 58 top tube & 10cm stem (with a bit less drop) on my other two bikes. So I'm not sure I really qualify.

Nah, each degree to the ST add approx 1cm, the traditional angle is 73, so it sound like your Feather probably have a 75 degree ST.

I'm your height and have 53TT with 73 degree ST.

Sweet, are we getting gang tats?

I'm the same regal, but 6'2", run a 58 TT on teh Condor with 100mm stem.

But finding the 56 TT on the Sirius good with layback post and different bars.

58.5 on the roadbike, with 100mm stem, need an inline post for that.

have a friend who's a graphic designer whom can draw me a badge...

I'm out.

Do not be ashame Brother, for there is support.

60 Top Tube, 100mm stem is not long enough?

60 Top Tube, 100mm stem is not long enough?

with risers

60 tt with 90mm stem on the Rourke, with drops & hoods.

Exactly.

The bigger the bike, the longer the stem that usually come with it.

i.e.

Genesis Croix De Fer.

52cm - 90mm.
56cm - 110mm.
60cm - 120mm.

whatever, thread on ignore

yunoleikTrexAPolo?

60 Top Tube, 100mm stem is not long enough?

Depends on ratio to seat tube length too, surely?

total saddle height from BB= 67cm
total horizontal reach = 70cm

Long'n'low FTW

I slammed my stem on Dolan today, it was comfy on the way to work, but it felt like I was too far forward on the saddle because of it being slammed. I have a 54x54 with 80mm stem. I had to buy bars with the shortest reach I could find (Planet X Stradas) and this has improved fit for sure, but ideally I could do with a 53cm TT and I could easily have a 55/56cm ST as I have quite a lot of seat post showing.

Dolan are well known racist toward the Brotherhoods.

Extremely so, check out how t-rexy my dolan was:

t-rexeh not sexeh fixeh

I assume you all have to wear one of these:

I noticed to stuck that picture on the wall. We should get shirts done or something.

Even more women have this affliction too, because the classic womens proportions are long legged with a short torso. If you combine in short arms you get T-rex.

I am always surpised at how badly "small" bikes cater for this. The weird looking 49cm frames with almost no headtube that are the smallest possible with 700c. Are usually much longer TT, because you would get epic toe overlap anyway.

If you are a taller T rex it doesnt matter, just get a smaller frame than your height suggests and raise the bars and saddle as necessary.
