While not as tall as you, I am on the tall side (6'2") and even I have a hard time finding bikes. It depends on your body proportions and the bike, but you would almost certainly be on a 61cm frame or larger. I'm on a 61cm and compared to the 58cm (of the Crossrip, like you're looking at), it's a dream. Unfortunately, the Jake, Anyroad, Plug, and other similar bikes don't come in any size larger than 58cm. You might be able to make it work but your seatpost and stem would have to be like a mile long.

Bike fit is probably more important than components. The Crossrip is considered expensive for its component level, but it fits so much better than anything else.
