In this case, genejockey and I are both talking about vintage road frames (IIRC the 56 he couldn’t get to fit was a Schwinn Circuit). I’m a solid size 58 in modern road or gravel but really need a 60cm or 61cm vintage frame. The problem I run in to is that vintage frames tend to get too long in the TT. I’m 6’2” as well but mostly leg.

Non RC Addict I could probably do a 56 since they’re so tall in the front end.
