Holy cats, that's a lotta seatpost/stem showing! You need a bigger bike.

(BTW, I'm a shrimpy lil' 6'0" guy and your frame is my very favorite size. But more French-Fitted, of course.)

The Trek 620 dressed up for halloween as a SSCX bike. Niether it nor I were very fast.

I sure hope Alex Moll shares all his rides here - this thread was tailored just for him ;)

Seat tube is a lot bigger than 62cm. More like 68cm or so.

The blue Mercian looks wonderful, and for some reason, classic geometry titanium bikes look great in large sizes.

I love big bikes, and the threads showing them!

Those are all beauties! I know how hard it is to find a bike that fits. My current favorite for all around riding is my beloved Bianchi Grizzly, with a 45in wheelbase. The handlebar grips are 46in from the ground. It's only 23in seat tube, but works well for me @ 6'5 225lbs

Yeah, something like a 68cm seat tube with a 62cm top tube would be ideal. Unfortunately bikes over 65cm are pretty rare in Canada, especially ones that aren't hi-ten. And even the 65cm ones usually only have a 59cm top tube.

What handlebars are on these two?
