Default Roadbike for tall rider

I am a tall and large. 6'4 1/2 and 250. Any one know what size frame I should look for? I like frames a little on the small side. WOuld a 62 cm be too big?
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.
