Hey everyone,

I've been checking out the following bikes:

Felt F80
Specialized Allez Sport Triple
Trek 1200
Giant TCR 2/ OCR 2

With price in mind -- seing how I stole most of those bikes off the great ideas in the $700 range bike thread, for a guy who is 6'6" - what's my best choice for a bike from the above?

Since I'm new to all this a Tiagra/105 mix seems right up my price range. But with all these different frames, and finding it really really hard to find a LBS that carries my size, what should I be looking/asking for before I make the once again uneventful trip...?

By the way... I don't tend to find myself in compact anything, should that mean I need to stay away from compact frames?



Thanks ahead of time!
