Exactly my problem. And when I finally do find the one place that had a bike I wanted (felt f70 63cm) the LBS owner was a... well... lets just say less than nice man. Wouldn't even assemble the thing for me to try it out.

Gonna call around tomorrow regarding the C'dales, no luck on anything else as of yet except an '05 Giant OCR1 XL - but like I said, I'm still worried that these XL frames may be a bit too small. And being a n00b to the sport, I probably wouldn't even be able to tell at first and get screwed.


Edit: You'd think in NYC there'd be more selection for us tall folk... phhhst. Riiight.
