Well I've worked out that if u fit a 210mm dropper with that seat tube and 165mm cranks that would be about a 31" inside leg so if u have a 34" inside leg which is perfectly normal on people over 6ft u would have 75-80 mm of post sticking out surely even if they had gone 460-480 that would have...
Well I've worked out even with a 210mm post I'm sized out of buying the Marin I think 430 is just silly I thought 480 was getting short for an XL surely people over 6ft can manage with that ?
I get the standover thing I do but 480 or something would be fine I think surely most 6ft plus people can manage that anybody with a longish leg is Gona need loads of seatpost sticking out ?
