it's hard to say without knowing the geo of the felt and your leg length... at 190cm i'd say you were somewhere around 58-60.

personally i'd go the smaller size, so a 58

If you are unsure on what size to buy, go & see the LBS guy.

We can´t see how youŕe built - leg legs/short body, short legs/long body?

I know of a tall guy who rides a size normally used for a shorter rider because of his reach requirements.

Sorry dood. There is no simple answer to this. Good luck with the new bike :)

I am 192cm and ride a 60cm. That runs a 57.7cm top tube. I have long legs so have a to run a massive drop for a traditional frame. started with a 120mm stem and went longer in 5mm lots till a 140mm now.

I'm not trying to dump on you, grosser611, but if you know this little about fitting a road bike, then buying a bike out of a box is probably not the best idea. Either go and see a local bike shop or get wise to the online fitting tools on the internet. Just don't expect a bunch of people who don't know you to give you a magic answer.

Start with the fitting pages on wrenchscience.com or competitivecyclist.com and see how you go.
