I broke down and spent a bunch of money on a Mavic HC 125 anniversary kit and it looks bad ass and is all that and stuff. It even matches my wheels - BUT the bibs fit like hot pants. Maybe not that bad but they ride up pretty high.
There are three cycling clothing company's that make tall cycling kits (Jerseys and Bibs) that I know of. But they each have an issue in my opinion.
Aerotech Designs - I bought a pair of their back tall (11" inseam) sized bib shorts and they fit great and the construction is good. But their designs are just not my style.

Zinn - Design of their tall kits are OK. The single grey leg panel on the bibs does not do anything for me. Of course you pay a big $$$ for this plain design. The jacket looks pretty cool though.

Hill Killer Apparel Company - These guys have a bunch of tall cycling clothing and the pricing is pretty good. Their bibs have 12.5" inseams. They have a bunch of state flag jerseys and an Old Bay seasoning jersey. Not my style. They do have a cool jersey that says "Hill Killer" across the front. I like the look but I need to get my conditioning up before I wear that across my chest on a group ride...

Anyone know of another company out there that makes tall cycling apparel for tall freaks?
