Having problems with message search?
Hi: I'm 6'6 and still looking for me a 63 or 64 will fit the bill. Make sure you have wheels with at least 32 to 36 spokes. That way they hold up. Some shops call them practice road wheels. The fancy wheels ony have 22 to 24 spokes.
I had a bike That kept popping the spokes!!
Cannodale seems to make big ones. I have a guy in Calif who wants to make me a custom job aroun=d $ 1000 but will hve to see. Now I have a mountain bike.

Good afternoon
I am glad to have found this yahoo group. I am getting frustrated
trying to find a road bike. Here is short version. I am 6'9" and
weight 285 lbs. I want to find a road bike that is not too expensive-
around $1000 - I have been to 4-5 shops and they all give me a
different story. some say I can fit a 64 cm frame - one today I
should have a 66 cm frame that is custom made around $5000.
Does anyone have any recommendations for me about getting the right
bike that I won't tear apart but won't break the bank
Thanks and glad to join the sight
