Subject: Look for a 63" road or tri bike

I live in the greater Vancouver area and for the past year I've been riding an old 60" frame road bike that was passed down to me. I've adjusted it to fit my 6'6" body the best I can and it has felt fine but I've really had nothing to compare it to. Recently I've been looking to buy a bike of my own and I tested a Cannondale with a 63" frame and it felt amazing. However, that particular model was too expensive. Other brands (Devinci, Norco, Trek) don't really seem to carry a 63" frame. Does anyone know the best places to find larger bikes? Can they be ordered online?

That's big. 63" is really big. I think you meant 63cm right?

Yeah, it's tough to find bikes to fit larger or smaller riders. My bike is maybe 46cm and there are rarely frame sizes that fit me. My current bike is custom built.

Ya, 63cm I mean! Sorry. Every shop I go to tries to sell me something around 60cm with lots of minor adjustments to make it feel like a larger bike, but it just doesn't compare to the few 63cm models I've tried.
