I'm actually the same size as you and currently ride an XL Giant OCR-2. I'm
having
problems with getting the thing sized for me and I'm thinking it's just not big
enough. I've
got about 7+ inches of seatpost showing as well as swapped out to a 130 stem.

From what I'm reading the Cannondales work well for us big guys. Large diameter
aluminum tubes I guess keep it stiff while also absorbing some of the
vibrations.

Speaking of Aluminum though, does anyone feel like they could snap their
handlebars in
half? I certainly do, when I get cranking the flex in my bars is quite
frightening. I don't even
want to think of how that would go down if I snapped them.

New to this group, so Hello all.
