Hi there, tall rider here 6'6 :) 230lbs
Hey everyone!
Found this forum when was researching what first bike to get (since childhood). Ended up getting:
Condor Fratello Disc 64cm (steel)
Shimano 105
Mavic Ksyrium Disc wheels
Brooks saddle
Currently reside and ride in Jersey City/NYC
Bike was ordered online and shipped from UK.
Very happy with everything so far, will post pictures after 5 posts

Nice... that extra 30 mm of head tube length would have come in handy for me-- I needed a stem riser for my 61c rig.

Hi, I'm also a 6'6" rider and know how hard it is to fit a bike. That bike looks amazing, nice choice!

Welcome to the forums! Wow, I can't imagine what is like to be that tall, at 5' I'm on the other side of the spectrum but still struggle to find bikes my size so I can relate.
