Like you and @
momoman -i'm 6'1"+ = my drop handlebar bikes range 58cm to 62/63cm (ctc), with top tubes from ~56.5 - 58.5. Head tubes from 16.5 - 20. Smaller ones definitely ride differently than the big ones. I seldom ride more than 50miles in a day and only the arm position changes so not a big deal. Sorta like - Do I feel racy or more tour-ish today? Silly really, they all go as fast as the engine runs, regardless of arm&hands.
