Hey everyone, I’m 6’6” (~200 lbs) and looking for my next road bike. I’m mainly riding road and have a triathlon coming up in January but want something versatile enough for longer endurance rides and possibly light gravel. I’ve narrowed it down to a few used options I’ve found locally. Would love some advice on which would fit best for my size and goals.

2019 Canyon Grail CF SL 8.0: Add-ons ($2,100): BiSaddle Combo Kit, K-Edge Bike Computer Mount, CrankBros Doubleshot 3 Hybrid Pedals. RockBros storage bag, under seat TopPeak storage bag, tubeless tires.

Im 6’6”. I ride a merida scultura in xl. Thats the largest frame they do. That frame size is 59cm. I would ask for measurements of the framesize. Framesize is pedal crank center to seatpost on the frame (not seat tube).
Longest framesize measurement would be my pick.
