Trek decided to build a 64cm Madone this year.

Thank g-d there is some hope! All those tall riders were sitting at home
watching television and eating junk food, waiting for Trek to give them
hope. Actually, believe it or not, there was hope even before Trek, as
hard as that is to believe.

There were several good quality 64cm road bicycles before the Madone,
I.e. the Douglas Fusion Ultegra SL, made by Litespeed, for Colorado
Cyclist is available in 64cm and is popular for taller riders. A good
deal at $1499 too. "http://www.coloradocyclist.com/product/kit/DXXAASU1".

Carbon frames that large tend to have problems of too much flex, which
is what the reviews of the 64cm Madone found. Colnago seems to have
solved this problem in their carbon fiber frames and they go up to 65 cm.
