Default If you could order a body!!!!

We all try and buy our bikes to fit our bodies, but what if you had a chance to order your body to be a perfect rider.


How tall would you be?

Weight?

Legs? (inside leg).

Upper body physique?

Thigh circumferrence...?

What ever????

(Emphasis on being an alrounder).


Silly question, but if we all think alike the answer should be the same,....

I'd have massive legs, two spindly arms, and a head....nothing else.....heh. I'd keep my lungs and heart in a camelback

Something in between Jan Ullrich and Lance Armstrong (though these 2 are quite similar in body size/shape i believe). Smallish upper body with strong but not overly large legs to keep the weight down. I spose around 5'10" and 70ish kg would be around the mark, with Jan's thighs and Lance's calves talk about ripped!!!

If you have large legs you have to have a big upper body to stabilise them.
My legs are pretty good (longer than average for my height) but I need them to be able to move quickly enough to stress my lungs and heart (my legs blow apart long before anything else)
So I don't think I need the lungs to be any bigger but I would like a new spine to replace the RS one I have at the moment. Back pain is a big problem.
Other than that all I need is to train harder.
