Hi Wes, I'm 6'4" and 95 PBH. I'm perfectly comfortable on my Platypus but I'm at the top end of the range and would go with a 62cm Atlantis in the future. I'd take a look at Will's setup on the site, that will give you an idea of what to expect. https://www.rivbike.com/blogs/news/wills-60cm-platypus
My understanding is that the "true" height is about + 6cm. Will switched from a flat 67cm AHH to a 61.5cm AHH and says his handlebars are higher on the new bike. That means that 60cm should fit you but you'll need to top out the seat stem. My Stem is a nitto-fillet-faceplater-quill stem at 135mm My Bars are Nitto Losco at 54by 25.4 For reference, my other bike is a 64cm Trek 620 and it doesn't fit me as well - It's noticeably a size smaller MATHIEU BROWN On Wed, Aug 31, 2022 at 6:38 PM Wesley <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm considering one fo the remaining Rosco Platys and want to hear ho the > Platypus frame works for tall folks.
