    Hi guys,

    I have a retro road bike which I'm selling because it's too small and doesn't suit my needs these days. And I'm seeking a replacement and I've never bought a new bike before and want to consider some things first as it is a big commitment:

    -I'll be going through the bike2work scheme
    -I'm about 5km each way to/from work through city streets so won't be going v fast
    -I'm male, age 28, 195cm tall which google tells me I need a whopping 62cm framed bike :eek:
    -It seems every bike for sale is a small or perhaps medium, how do tall guys cycle?
    -I'm gravitating towards some of the Dutch style bikes because they seem quite robust and offer stability over speed. I also like the saddle, built in light and a small bit of storage.
    -I'm quite fond of the Dublin Bikes, they're an easy cycle and v stable.

    Could anyone recommend something for me? and even where I might find such a freakishly large machine?
