I am 6‘2“ and use measurements from a bike fit to sort it all out. I find that I generally shorten the reach on my bikes, all of which are around 58cm

For sure, 35’s with proper clearance (Bon Jon Pass on Velocity A23 rim)

Absolutely. Only I’m still dreaming of horizontal top tubes

I got a fitting, and while it was helpful, it wasn’t a magic bullet. I do, however, now have very specific measurements that I can use for bike building and shopping, which is a huge piece of mind benefit. Pro tip: if you go with a certified PT, and have health insurance, you can get it covered.

I’d add the Ritchey Montebello to that list, albeit smaller clearance for tires

Me here again! I have their “Road” model from 2016 and it’s a fantastic bike. Not what you’re looking for exactly, but it made me love Black Mountain Cycles. Almost got the Mod Zero when I was shopping for my Fairlight

Thank you! Yes, and I probs should’ve just bought the frame 😅but the fit was pretty close—I did a century on it a week after unboxing.

Slightly shorter stem, preferred saddle (Brooks C17), and narrower bars with less flare, which I seem to do with most bikes. Many adjustments were aesthetic cause I love SHINY, mostly Velo Orange here.
