Fuji Feather sizing XXL (63cm) for a 6'5" berk

After converting a bunch of used bikes to fixed gear I'm looking to purchase a new fixie - moving on from the jerry rig feel. I've basically settled on the Fuji Feather; its in my price range and its build and reputation outweighs others.

I'm a 6'5" (and some change!) tall dude, however, so I'm wondering if the XXL (63cm) will be the right fit for me? It lists the appropriate size rider as between 6'-6'4". All the stores which have the bike in stock don't have it assembled so cant test the size in person.

Any other tall blokes have a say in the matter or advice?

Cheers in advance!

Maybe ask them to build it so you can test ride it. If they have them in boxes they should be able to build one. It is another thing if they have to order it special for you. When I last rode a Feather in 2012 or so I hated that thing way too aggressive for me and not really a comfortable bike. I liked the color and I like the frame material but over all the bike was just a looks bike and not a good rider for me at least. You might have a different opinion.

I'm only 6'3", but I would want a considerably taller headtube than 185mm on my bike. Maybe you're fit and super flexible, but that's going to give you a very low stack.
