Hi all, I have an opportunity to purchase an EPX 303 with low miles and Campagnolo Chorus/Record setup for a good price. The frame is a 59 cm, and I am 6'3" tall (my inseam is 85 cm). Any thoughts about whether this frame size will be appropriate for me? Also, I weigh 215 pounds - any worries about stiffness of the frame? Thanks for any advice you might have. -Jake

Jake, I am 183 cm with an inseam of 82 cm and ride a 56 cm top tubed 303. It fits well although I have the headstem angled up to give me greater handlebar height. The frames are plenty stiff. I weigh 100kg and have no problems with it for flex. If anything I find the frame and my wheel set up a little too stiff. The bike accelerates really well and handles like it is on rails. It is probably my favourite ride at the moment because of its responsiveness. It climbs really well with a set of 44cm carbon bars and with a dura ace 7800 setup it is nice and light. I really wish that I had bought 3 or 4 of these frames for the price I paid for my frame.
