Question for fellow Clydes on frame size
I am 45 years old and just started riding again after a 20 year break. I am 6' 5" and at present weigh 260 in "full battle gear". When I am in great shape I cannot get below 223 without being asked how long I have had cancer. I started riding a tandem with my wife but our schedules do not allow me to ride as much as I want or need. I have been reading active and past posts looking for the "right" choice in frame construction and size. I rolled around on a 61 mm Cannondale Synapse Carbon 5 and felt comfortable, and my local shop says they can get one in a 63 mm but I suspect it is a Carbon Six and not a Synapse. I have only rode mountain bikes, or uprights, but never a road bike and do not know what the right "feel" is supposed to be. What size frame and what construction will work best for me. I will be climbing alot. I know there are many things to consider, and I thank you for your wisdom...
