Any recommended brands of tri-shorts/bike-shorts for a tall skinny guy? I'm 6'0 and 147 lbs, and usually a medium or small in shorts...unfortunately most brands seem to have a super-short inseam in those sizes, so they look ridiculous on me. Help!

Just go 1 piece. Tall and skinny = tramp stamp sunburn no matter what brand you use.

I’m 6’5” and have a couple pairs of a 2xU Tri shorts that I really like. They’re the longest I have found and help cover up my chicken legs.

Sugoi makes a good "long" top if you're worried about showing skin on the back. I think it's the RPM tank, and it's quite long. I have that paired with a pair of their shorts for this year.

I'm 6"2, 140lbs and wear a Small pretty much across the board. Most of my shorts have the same (longish) inseam: Assos, Castelli, Champion Systems (that one also comes in a Long, really nice), 2XU. A bike-specific piece of kit I really dig is L'Etape, a Dutch brand that makes some really neat designs.
Maybe your femurs are exceptionally long? I haven't noticed that the Smalls from most Euro brands have a shorter inseam than their Mediums or Larges.
