Ben Cathro (6'7") was saying in one of his YouTube vids that Greg Minaar (6'3") rode a larger frame than he did (both on Santa Cruz).

And as has been mentioned upthread, the faster you want to go the larger the frame you choose does seem to be a thing.

Yeah Minaar and Peaty had special V10s made with an extra 20mm length. They were still probably shorter than the current bikes!

Peaty also had DT Swiss wheels with the grease replaced with oil, to really cut down on friction, as if they weren't fast enough any way.

Minar uses an offset headset to provide extra length to already the biggest bike.
