Inside leg is 92cm
Torso 72
Total 6ft 4 inches
60 or 62 or 64cm ?
Give them a call. They have real, live people who know their products.
Riding a 62cm Canyon Ultimate CF with the 12cm stem as supplied and it's just about the perfect size. Had to switch out the seatpost for one with zero layback but that's possibly more to do with my 40 year old dodgy back than anything else.!! 🙂
6'4" tall here too, Inside leg is 90cm, torso is 74cm

Thanks that is a massive help. They told me yesterday that I would need a 60 but I wasn't sure. 62cm it is. Cheers
No problem, their bike sizing guide seems to measure up a touch small in most circumstances. It recommended a 60 for me too but I went with my own measurements based off my old bike. Hope you enjoy it, that Roadlite AL frame won a few bike of the year awards last year if I remember rightly.
6'4" here and riding a 58cm Ultimate CF comfortably.
Ok so the stem isn't "slammed" but it fits me well. 🙂
I am 6'2" and would go for a 60cm, can't remember what size they recommended for me, might have even been 56cm, but I went on a day trip to their showroom and tried a few out and 60 is definitely the size for me, but I do like to be a little stretched out on a bike.
And the winner of this year's "most threads to buy a bike" is... 😛

Now I am confused! You reckon on a roadlite Al 62 will be to big?
I predict tomorrow you will start a new subject:
Bianchi, tell me which one for a 6ft4 rider?
😆

No I am saying that 60cm is the right size for me, your a little taller so 62 would probably be good for you, but it is also about understanding how you fit on a bike and the relative dimensions that can change between manufacturers.
Do you currently have a road bike?
OP you are only 2inches taller than me. I'm buying a LARGE PlanetX carbon pro. That fitted like a glove.
Is a XL too small for you?!! 2inches is nowt.
Unless you have legs upto your armpits why would you need XXL? I'm 33inside BTW (GSOH)
The man from canyon London tonight said no way do I need a 62cm bike. I told him I will order a 60 and if I think it's too small you can collect it Simples!! 😆
