I figured someone would ask that question!

I'm 6'5". Most "modern" fit systems/methods would put me on about a 63cm road "racing" frame. Rivendell's fit method (http://www.rivendellbicycles.com/htm...framesize.html), which emphasizes rider comfort and a more upright riding position puts me on a 68cm frame. The Quickbeam is a 68cm frame with 700c wheels. I also have a 68cm Rivendell Atlantis, which is my geared bike. Once I started riding the Rivendells I've found "traditionally" (by modern standards anyway) sized frames to be quite uncomfortable by comparison.

AJRoberts: Very nice looking canti-Rom! Nice parts selection. What type of bag is that?
