Fuji Feather sizing XXL (63cm) for a 6'5" berk
After converting a bunch of used bikes to fixed gear I'm looking to purchase a new fixie - moving on from the jerry rig feel. I've basically settled on the Fuji Feather; its in my price range and its build and reputation outweighs others.
I'm a 6'5" (and some change!) tall dude, however, so I'm wondering if the XXL (63cm) will be the right fit for me? It lists the appropriate size rider as between 6'-6'4". All the stores which have the bike in stock don't have it assembled so cant test the size in person.
Any other tall blokes have a say in the matter or advice?
Cheers in advance!

I'm only 6'3", but I would want a considerably taller headtube than 185mm on my bike. Maybe you're fit and super flexible, but that's going to give you a very low stack.
