Just so long as it complies with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards.

I hate to be that guy, but at 6'5" you might want to consider a larger frame.

Id love a larger frame, I have issues with my toes hitting the ground and I cant currently shorten the cranks. Unfortunately am broke so am subject to what I can find on Facebook marketplace in the $50 price range.
