I'm afraid that simply posting that question here means you're already infected, it is incurable so only thing left is to satisfy those urges - they are perfectly natural and we are here for you.

I wasn't in great shape, I'm still not in great shape, but I normally ride 2k-4k at 500ft/mile. I use a 34x23 ratio. Your legs get used to it and then your knees and back will thank you.

Honzo ST is a great bike. The ti version is even better... it sure does suck to have to buy twice...

Sort of the wrong place to ask but at 6 foot, I'd recommend a Large no doubt. Standover isn't an issue on a frame with a low TT so I imagine you'd be fine there. A large is probably the proper size.

I know two guys on Honzo's that are 5'9" ish, and another who's 5'10" or 11 that's on a Large.

I recently converted my race bike and made other changes as well.

'17 Scott Scale 900RC now was 120mm SID RCT3, Purgatory/Ground Control 2.3" and 36/18 gearing. In the stand, without a chain tensioner, the chain tension was perfect but after one ride it has slightly stretched and I have since installed one(just in case).

A couple of pics from yesterday. Winter Solstice on the SweetSpotSingleSpeed. I'm liking this thing more and more.

You can see traces where the fire came down the ridge into Annadel State Park, toward the lake.
I have that picture of almost every bike I have owned in the last 20 years
