I have a sitting height of 88cm at best
Inseam of 78cm
Height is 166,5cm
Wingspan 177cm
So I'm already naturally long legged and have a good wingspan... What is the max length I could do without looking really strange?

That may help to have a better view... But I just don't know... I need opinions please.
Hey Smallguy, I'm 179CM and have an 80-81CM inseam how much do you reckon I could do?
I have almost the same inseam as you Smallguy 
Quote from: Smallguy on March 25, 2015, 03:21:51 AMThe max is 3 inches. You already have long legs. 3 inches will put you at 34 inseams. You will look ridiculous if you pass 34 inseams.
Whether you should lengthen tibia or femur, it depends on which segment of yours is longer than the other.
Is proportion more important to you or final height?
I know this is a stupid question, but I have to be 100% sure. Is inseam crotch to ankle or crotch to floor?
I'm getting a bit worried because I'm 5' 9" and have a 33" crotch to floor and 31" crotch to ankle

Really?
Damn, I wanted to have 12cm (4.7 in), 7(2.7 in) on tibias and 5(2 in) on fermur, so I would be 178cm (5'10) at least... 
That would make me have about 50% inseam/height ratio.
I wonder if it would be so noticeable if I had 35.4 in inseam...
Wingspan would look good also since it would be about the same as my total height.
Sorry guys, again, I have to make sure I'm doing this right...
How is inseam measured exactly?
Is it pubis bone to floor (most conservative, and would give longest length) or is it bottom of balls to ankle?

why you dont try with lifts to see how much you could lengthen before look weird?

Cause I'm a proportion nazi and always look at numbers, but you are right, I should try lifts.
I found this cycling forum that discusses inseam/height ratio.
The last post makes sense to me. Using pubis bone to floor as inseam measurement, than a ratio of height/inseam, a ratio of 2 would be very long legs, and 2.2 would be very short legs. I am smack in the middle at 2.1, so not as bad as I thought. I actually always though my body was almost perfectly proportional "as is".
