XXL (62+) bikes
I am trying to pick up a new roadie that fits a bit better. So far the only bike I have found big enough is the Specialized Roubaix XXL (64cm). A 61cm TT has proven to be too short, so that eliminates most 61cm frames. Can anybody think of other manufacturers that make huge carbon frames?
Out:
Giant
Cannondale
Look
Orbea
Felt
Trek
Scott

The frame is $2099 new, complete $3499. That's really f*ing expensive. I'm just trying to look at my other options.

Cdale makes a 63 but if youre really tall, it really wont work. its also hard to compare Giant's frames since they are compacts and their largest is 58.5cm and still not ideal for really tall folks.

The Roubaix Apex comes in 64 and should be around $2200 or less complete.
If you want the SL3 frame, that is going to cost a bit more.

29ers are just a fad.

That explains why the first Roubaix I looked at was $1800 complete... Time to dig a bit more.
I'm 6'4".

Four levels of frames from Specialized. The base(8r carbon), the SL3(10r?) and the SL4(close enough to the Sworks -200 grams or so heavier) and the Sworks.

Strange. They list this one in 64cm.

Don't work until Friday so I can't check the dealer site.
