Bike for tall person, need advice.
Hi,
My height is 206cm and my inseam length is 103cm. According to the Lemond seizing method (0.883 x inseam length) I need a seat height of 906mm.
I finally found a bike that seems to be large enough and is available: Canyon Grizl CF SL 8 1by with a 2XL frame size.
Canyon provides dimensions for the frame, seat height is max 903mm and the top tube is 627mm long. So in theory this bike should be fine for me.
However, I found a review on BikeRadar where the reviewer mentioned that the frame size chart recommends for him S size, but he felt more comfortable on a M size frame.
Therefore I now wonder if the 2XL frame is large enough for me.
Unfortunately I don't have a bike and so far I was unable to find (Auckland, New Zealand) any gravel bike even close enough to what I need to give me an impression what frame size will work for me.
So, I'm a bit uncomfortable ordering a bike online that might end up being to small for me.
I'm hoping to find here someone who is also tall and can give me advice on frame size.
Many thanks for any advise that can be provided.
