Frames For Tall People

<< < (2/2)

hmarin:

 just a small info, frame number can be misguiding.

 ICAN A2 that i have is 58 but 420 reach and 60cm TT  :o

jfcb:
With similar height (192cm, 86,3cm bb to saddle), I can recommend the following bikes by own experience :
Dengfu R12 : perfect geometry for tall riders, I even used a - 17deg stem
Ican A9: a stiff aero crit/ race bike
Adapt a-002/ Tavelo attack: currently testing this bike and so far I like it very much, a bit more compliant compared to the Ican, lighter and yet very responsive. It's just tall enough for me to still look good (not too exaggerated seatpost exposure and stem sspacers)

hmarin:
 194, 84-6 seat height, 48 EU shoes

 Focus Izalco MAX XXL

 ICAN A2 58 pic attached.

 Kona Zone 61cm

 all 420 reach + 120 mm stem

 tried 400 + 140 stem, terrible, when you out of saddle with long stem

 Canyon Ultimate I don't need XXL, XL is 419mm reach. 

 Cheers,
 Marin

Wow these are some really good recommendations actually! I looked into the Dengfu R12 and that looks like a crazy beast. The only unfortunate thing is that it's slightly pricy.

For anyone wondering what parts I am getting:

Frame/Fork/Handlebar/Seat post: Tan Tan TT-X34
Groupset: Shimano Ultegra Disc R8020
Bottom bracket: Shimano Ultegra SM-BBR60
Power Meter: PES P505 Base Power Meter
Pedals: Shimano Ultegra R8000 SPD-SL Carbon Pedals
Wheels: Elitewheels SLR-DISC 2.0
Tires: Vittoria Corsa Pro G2 TLR
Saddle: Pro Stealth Sport Saddle

If anyone is curious about how the build turned out let me know  ;D

At the moment I'm making a list of manufacturers/frames/components that would suit me but, with little succes. So far I've only been able to find the VB-R-077/LTK118.

If anyone has any good frames for tall people please feel free to share them so I can make a list for all the other struggles out there!

Thanks :)

Current Frame List:

* VB-R-077/LTK118
* TanTan TT-X34
Current Bike List:

* Dengfu R12

Look at the new Seka Spear. I’m almost your height and intrigued by it. It’s got a higher stack than most Chinese frames and looks well made.
