Hi, I have a question.
I am arond 6'5" but only 85kg to 90kg, I was talking to a friend and they said that if I was after a new bike that I should stay away from compact frames because of my height. They also said that I MUST get the longest crank arms I possibly could.
Is there any truth to this or is it just nonsense?
I have only been riding for around 4 months at the moment but I really enjoy it and plan on sticking with it, so any input would be great.
Also are there any brands of jerseys that are longer in the body than normal as it seems that a Euro xxxl is too short and from the emails I have received even a Euro size 4xl will still be too short!
Thanks.
