Hello,
The last bike I had was 20 years ago. It was a 25 3/4" Dawes
Galaxy. Now I'm ready to buy another bike but it appears that people have
shrunk! What bikes are tall people riding these days? It seems that 60cm is
now XL. There don't seem to be many 60cm bikes in the shops either. I tried
a 58cm but the seat post was so long it looked more like a mono cycle. Boo
hoo.

If I was looking for another bike, I would certainly look at Cannondale.
Last time I considered it, they had a 27" touring frame and ~26" road
racing frame. Many steel manufacturers seem to balk at such sizes.
