I just wonder what size of frames use pro big riders (over 190cm), smaller or right ones for their size? (sorry for my funny english)

    Depends on the rider. Boonen tends to ride frames which are relatively small for his size, with a gigantic stem. Magnus Bäckstedt rode bigger frames, more to the size you would expect.

    Most pro riders ride custom frames - regardless of what the PR people tell you. Typically toptubes are longer and so are often beefed-up in comparison to stock. Specialized actually made a custom mould for Boonen's Tarmac - longer toptube. Likewise, Backstedt mainly rode custom - his particular favourite was the custom titanium Bianchi he rode fro Paris-Roubaix.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
