Thinking about one of these, but at 6 ft 7ins not sure that the 61cm is going to be big enough.

No chance to test ride before purchase, so wondering if there's any owners out there to give a steer?

depends on how long you are in the leg, body and arms. I ride a Specialized Allez in a 61, i have a shortish body with long legs and arms. I needed to get a 400mm seat post for it to fit and still run that on the limit.

I am 6'3" with a 36" inside leg. I have a Crossrip Elite 56cm. I based my sizing on top-tube length. I have always found that if you get the correct top-tube length then all else falls into place. Leg length accommodated by the seatpost. I must say that I am really impressed by my Crossrip. Definitely biased towards the category of commuter or tourer, rather than fast CX bike. Decent spec and robust wheels. Very comfortable. Actual prefer riding it over my Giant TCR. I have a rack and guards fitted. Only criticism is the handlebars are enormous!
