Just saw this, and am still analyzing it. As I see it, for a given height, Filipinos (mi madre was Filipina) have the shortest legs, Swedes longer, and black Africans the longest. When I sit, I am as tall from seat up as -- if not 1/2" taller than -- my 6'1" bro in law surnamed Hansen.
Someone else suggested that I'd be to short for a 59 and, anyway, that even 59s will not take true 700C X 3"/76mm tires, which are a given for my next (God willing) build. Too bad. I'd love a Clem-type with long rear dropouts and room for 3" tires at 13 psi. Lovely.
