I demo'd an Absolutist, and I don't think I'm big enough to appreciate the build. And I'm 6', 160. It felt like a block of wood to me. I think a bigger guy would be able to light it up with this frame.

You would noodleize an Orca. A buddy of mine who is very powerful has an Orbea Opal. That's prbly what would suit you. He's got HED Jet 60's with the big boy build.

Ignore the "custom build" crap.

The 2010 Canondale SuperSix might also be a good match for you.

Btw, I've got a Scott CR1 SL and a Parlee Z4. You don't want either one of those. The Scott is super light and has a massive front fork, like the Storck. But it is a Hogpen Gap type of bike. A vertical rocket. And the Parlee is far too well mannered. Even for me.
