    I'm 6'4 and ride an XL Boardman Team Carbon Ltd Ed, 2010. It needed a but of adjusting to get it to what I thought was right, but also going for a bike fit just to get it spot on. You should be fine with that size frame.

    If you've got the cash, get the Team. It gets very good reviews, and has 105 group set, although the Comp with SRAM Apex will be just fine.
