I'm a few hairs shy of 6'1", and ride an IRO "62" (58 c-c w/ high bb) I wish they made a slightly larger size. Then again, I have abnormally long legs for a male my height...
Once I started following the Rivendell size chart I became MUCH more comfortable on my bike (I never used to ride in the drops, now I spend most of my time there.) That makes me ride more and harder and faster, even though popular thought is that I should now be slower.
