Hello, my name's bob and I'm cheating a little. I am about a month away from possibly buying a triban 5. The only thing that will stop me, is if the bike is too small. At 6'4" can anyone give me any information regarding weather even the 60cm may be too small? Perhaps someone else here owns one and is a lanky git aswell. I know the only way to be sure is to sit on one. But before I go and order one to try I'd just like to get some advise. Thanks, and if I fit the bike, I look forward to being an active member on the forum.

I'm 6ft 5ins and have a T3 in the 63, which is suiting me really well. Get to a Decca and sit on a few and see how they feel, as you've sussed yourself. Then ride it away!

Thanks. That's exactly what I plan to do. But I'm worried I'm getting excited about something I might not fit on.

I'm 6'3" and the 63 fits fine. I've got the seat post pretty high so you should be fine. Do they do the 5 in 63?

I'm 6'6" and was on the limit of the 63 which I had, I'd say between your height and mine 63 is just the right size.

I'm 6'2" and find the 60cm triban 7 to be a comfortable fit, best thing is to go and try one in-store.

You may want to also pay particular attention to the top tube length also. I'm 6'2"-6'3" and brought a 60cm T3 which height wise was fine, but found myself over reaching to the handlebars, so needed to buy a 90mm stem to alleviate the sore elbows after long rides.
