The point of my post (point? point? we don't need no stinking point!) is
that experimentum trumps theoria every time.

For 15 years I have manfully resisted the "don't worry about tt, st angle
and bar height compensate" message from Grant. I asked for a 56-57 cm c-c tt
on my customs and set them up with 8 cm stems and bars 4-5 cm below saddle;
very, very nice. Then I got, seriatim, a medium (17"!!) Monocog 29er wit

Shirts, if they are in the 'Tall' section. I find I can't keep them
tucked in if they are not.
and Pants if they are normali
Can you find shirts and pants that fit you in the men's section at large
chain stores? Then you are normal, no?

Yes - but I don't know what 'normal' is. This is why I asked. :)

Here's what I want to know. What is the size/proportion of legs/torso
arms/height that is expected and/or designed for?
I'd like to be

That is what I did, as well as using shortish stems -- 8 cm. The bikes fit
and feel and handle perfectly.
The new Sam Hill is a 56 with a 59 tt and came with a 10 cm stem; I simply
kept the bars high -- about 1/2 inch above saddle versus 2" below for the
others -- tho' considerably lower than they
10 matches
