If you can't find anything off-the-shelf, you might try custom. I have a
similar problem, being 6'10". I've used youngoriginals.com with good
results (tights, warm-ups-- they do shorts, but I haven't tried theirs),
prices aren't much different than standard.
Good shorts are pretty necessary for any serious amount of riding, but
the rest of the stuff is pretty optional. I have a bunch of jerseys
which I don't wear any more, I prefer simple synthetic t-shirts.
