Wanted: SS for 6'5 newb with flexible £300 budget!

Hey all! Perhaps a derivative of my other thread, I'm on the hunt for something to fit my 6'5 frame, ideally of the simple, clean Globe Roll ilk, though everything considered.

The obvious stumbling block is my size, though I'm willing to spend more on the right bike. Equally I'm willing to spend less on a good runner, as I'm a newb so my estimated usage is hard to predict in these optimistic, "boy I can't wait to get fit" pre-summery times.

Frames/parts considered too, if building a bike in spite of my newb status would not be hugely frowned upon?!

Thanks for any help!

Might be worth keeping an eye out for a 61 Fuji track or something, they can be had cheap now. I'm the same height and ride a 61 track, but it is ill fitting so I would measure yourself up properly to see exactly what you need. Have a search on here, I'm sure its been covered.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
