Fast Winter Commuter/Tourer for a Tall Man

[mig]

might enjoy if even more if the budget stretches to something built specifically for you..?

Ribble winter/audax and CR1 go up to 64cm frame size and will take a rack for light touring. A friend who is 6' 7" uses a 64cm winter and finds it plenty big enough.

Caveat is that it will depend on body shape, preference, etc. With a 73.5 seat angle and a 59cm top tube it's on the steep and short side for a frame of that size; at 6'5" I prefer something nearer 72 and 61. YMMV.

What on earth does YMMV mean?

I believe that's "your mileage may vary"

When trying to keep down with the boyz in the hood, the urban dictionary may help us mamils.

Well doesn't everyone's mileage vary? Surely the expression is STBO - stating the bleeding obvious....
