Default maximum weight on a Bianchi Eros frame.

If you refer to the simple geometric principle that volume is
proportional to height^3, then you'll see that 6'8" and 300 lbs is
equivalent to 6'0" and 219 lbs., or 5'6" and 168 lbs. That's normal
for fit men of heavy build at those heights.


that's not how I remember health class-

http://www.intmed.mcw.edu/clincalc/body.html

6' 8" 300# = BMI of 33
6' 0" 219# = BMI of 29.7
5' 6" 168# = BMI of 27.1

Not equivalent in my book

Equivalent would be:

6' 0" 243# BMI of 33
5' 6" 205# BMI of 33

Just an observation.


BMI is intrinsically flawed because it is geometrically erroneous.
What BMI purports to say is that a 1x1x1 cube is "underweight", a 2x2x2
cube is "normal", and a 3x3x3 cube is "morbidly obese". That's
ridiculous right on its face.
