That looks pretty awesome. That's the Double Cross DC right? Looks about my size too, is that the 58cm or 60cm? Do you happen to have any experience with any of the other mentioned bikes just for comparison sake? When I was heavily considering the Double Cross I originally thought I'd need the 60cm being 6'1.5" bare foot and over 6'2" with shoes on. But then I realized it has a super long top tube. Mind you, I want to be able to go fast, but not feel like I'm racing to the grocery store as it would be my full time commuter/short touring bike. I've tried to figure out why the Cross Check gets so many more votes than the Double Cross in general despite the Double Cross having better steel. I've never ridden either one unfortunately. Any input?
