Looking at your saddle height I'd say you're about 7'6" tall :shock:
The pun about the wooden shock was funny just because it wa so bad

im 5` 10" its a 16" frame but ive got fairly long legs hence the amount of seatpost, i had to get a 400mm post to be on the safe side, side by side with my trek hardtail the position is within half an inch so im happy.
