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

5'11" (long legs, short torso)
56 cm for most of my bikes (a lot of friends who ride 57 or 58 cm bikes have their saddle height too low for me)
55.5 or 56 cm tt is good for me
