hiya guys, ive never had a road bike, ive been looking at the 600 and 725 on ebay. both 21" frames. im 6foot 1, with a 34 inside leg, would they be to small for me, or do i need to hold out for a bigger frame, like a 23" 58cm?

because I'm a dirty sun of a gun and love the music

plan to use this, for a bit of light bikepacking, so just grabbed me a surly trucker, cromo disc canti fork with panier bosses, if i dont like it, ill put them on my mtrax 500, or my 531 atb castorama

I’m 6’2” though have a longer torso, my inside leg is 33”. My Dyna-Tech Pro feels perfect in a 23” frame, stem from memory is slightly longer. In the photo below is about the comfiest I’ve had a bike.

The head tube is alumunium, and if it's got UGLI forks, the crown will be aluminium and the legs will be cromo or ti.
