Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Frames For Tall People
« on: April 26, 2024, 04:07:09 AM »
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)

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

I have the x34 currently, i am 6’7. I feel hunched over but its a solid frame, the paint isnt durable though but no chinese frame is.
If youre 6’3 itd probably fit you. I run 120/440

Are you running the 60cm frame? If so than it's awesome that you made it work for you!

What about the geometry though? Do you feel like it's too aggressive?

Being tall makes searching for a nice frame that suits you a pain. I myself am 192cm (6'3) with a 93cm (3'½) and am still searching for quality frame for a decent price.

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 :)
