At the bike store, all they had for me to try were 58cm frames. 58cm was obviously too small, but with about 8" of seatpost showing, the bike fit well enough for me just to get a feel for the frame (which is all I was really trying to accomplish today).

The bike store guy said a 60cm would be plenty big, and laughed at even the suggestion of a 63cm being appropriate for me. I won't be able to try either size before I order.

Any thoughts?
I'm 6'2" with a 34 inch inseam and ride a 60 Super Six. I actually think the 63 would work, but would caution on stem length.
