I worked with the wife a bit, and got her to let me have more of my allowance (husband money) I bought the Niner R.I.P. 9 XL frame, with a complete high end package, including 180mm cranks, 110mm front shox, and lots of other goodies. I dropped a cool $3500 on it, and now it is so pretty I am scared to ride it :-)
Actually, I clipped in to it last night and it fit's perfectly. Of course the being clipped into the pedals was a strange feeling, as I have not done that before. Will take some getting use to it.
I strongly recommend the RIP 9 by Niner for anyone who is 6'5" to 6'8", with a few additions, like a riser bar, it is a great fit!
