Hi,
i'm a 6'7'' (200 cm) tall rider with 230 pounds (110 kg) and have been riding Cannondale CAAD5 63 cm frame for 3 years now and its size suits me just fine. Last week my dealer gave me a very good offer on Ridley Excalibur XL frame and i'm tempted. I'm wondering if anybody has experience with sizes and geometry of ridley frames since i'm a bit scared if an XL frame would be "big" enough? CAADs (traditional geometry) seat tube c to c measures 61 cm, horizontal top tube is 60 cm. Excaliburs (sloping geometry) seat tube is 56 cm and the efective top tube is also 60 cm. Thank you for your input and i'm hoping for any kind of information or experience.
