A Personal Question of Length?

Seriously epic, I have on occasions melted my shoe laces due to my feet approaching the sound barrier.
 
Mine?

It's just a Japanese ink drawing that I liked the look of.

It reflects my 25 plus years of M.A. training.
 
Everyone is different, no one is a freak, off the peg bike sizes are based on averages. Try before you buy if possible !

I'm 6'1" and have a 34" leg length.

Same!!!

Same.

Trouser measurement is too short, you need to go 'all the way' :shock:

The usual method recommended is to put a book between your legs and shove it up as high as possible. You then measure from the highest point to the ground. It's usually easier if you have assistance.

I was quoting trouser measurement yes. Just over 35" using the book method. I ride 19" to 20" MTBs and 58cm road bikes.
 
5' 10" and 34"
ride 19 to 20" retro bikes (measured Rocky Mountain/Kona way of CTT)
I find 18" is too small.


I recently tried the full on measure up online calculators.
It came out with the same recommended size as I ride.

A simple one here

There was a more complicated one with sit down hights, arm length etc... but I cannot remember the link

Interesting. I come out at MTB 19.5" Road 58cm (6'3" 33.5leg)
 
Well that one was a faff! Gave me numbers that mostly have no relation to frame sizes you can see on majority of listings or websites. But reach helpful?
