Thanks everybody in advance.

Don't know. For 6-4, I'd be pretty confident that a 60 would be too small, but ... Everybody's got different proportions, and bikes are differently proportioned, too.

If you can't get fit at a local shop, try the fitting system at www.competitivecyclist.com. Also, Canyon, a German company, has an interesting fitting guide--see www.canyon.com. And remember that these are only going to get you a starting point.
