Just wondering what kind of tri bikes the tall ones are riding and what sized.... 

Only finding one or two companies that make a 61, a few more that hit 60, but most are 58ish.  Looking in the 24oo-2800 range....

Thanks,

Tall guy...LOL!

I ride a Quintana Roo Seduzza Large, which is 58ish.  It's a weird setup, though...I have really long legs and a very short torso.

6'7" ride a 61cm Motobecane Nemesis.  Great bike for around $1K.

Hey Mike,

It looks like it may be a little out of your price rain, but I'm 6'5 and I got an XL Trek TTX 9.5 this year.  It was the only one I could find that didn't require a custom frame.  It fits really well and that frame should work for you and I absolutely love it.

My road/tri bike now is a 62 Trek 2.1( put a FF post and Profile T2 clip-ons, tri seat)

  Hockey, thanks for the info, I might see if the XL frame is available on a lesser $$$ bike from trek... 

I was looking at a 60cm Kestrel Tallon or a Felt B12, the Cervelo doesw come in a 61....

X3 on the Cervelo.  I'm 6'4" 190 lbs (34" inseam) and ride the Cervelo P2C - 61cm.  LOVE It!
Roadie is a 63cm Felt.  I thought I would have to go custom since I never saw a 63cm TT/Tri bike,  but the Cervelo fits great!

I'm 6'5" 240 lbs.  I am riding a 60 cm 2009 Kestrel Talon SL Tri.  I'm pretty long in the torso and had to slide the seat back and the aero bars forward a little, but it fits and rides great.

I am 6'3" and i am looking at buying the specialized transition XXL.  I went for a fitting and the XL frame was too small.
