To throw in my two cents' worth here: I'm 6', but a 62 would feel a bit large; I have a 60 Ram, and a 59 Rom, and actually like the Rom better, if on the same wheels. But I know people my height that think my 60 is too tall even, and others that would rather go bigger... It's not just height, but PBH that factors in there. The PBH will get you on the right frame to start with, then the height can nudge you in a particular direction for a stem-length or handlebar style. Stems and bars can be changed tho'... get the frame right, and the rest can be adjusted. So with that said, is your guy a long-legged 6' guy, or is he short-legged and long-torsoed? Just something to mull over.... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
